What is sociodramatic play? Describe Piagetian and contemporary perspectives regarding this
activity.
What will be an ideal response?
Sociodramatic play represents pretend play with others. Piaget viewed sociodramatic
play as primarily an activity that bolsters representational thought; however, he
believed that the benefits of social pretend and solitary pretend play were similar. That
is, he viewed both activities and behaviors reflected and promoted cognitive
development. However, newer research suggests that sociodramatic play may also
bolster social and communicative skills in children; skills that may not be facilitated by
solitary activities.
