皮亚杰(1962)断言，当儿童进入具体的操作阶段时，他们就不再参与假装游戏，因为他们变得能够适应现实，不再需要吸收现实来满足他们的愿望。与维果茨基的观点一致的是，发展心理学中关于假装游戏的讨论通常局限于儿童早期，但活动本身似乎并不局限于此。作为对童年中期假装游戏的初步调查，大学生被要求完成一份关于他们童年假装游戏的回溯性问卷。问卷项目询问了他们之前伪装活动的内容和背景，他们何时以及为什么停止伪装，以及与伪装和幻想相关的人格特征。平均而言，受访者报告在11岁左右不再假装。在统计上显著预测参与者报告的停止伪装年龄的因素包括性别、童年环境、兄弟姐妹的年龄、童年时对幻想实体的信仰，以及参与最后一次伪装记忆的参与者。这项初步研究为今后探索假装在童年中期的作用奠定了基础。尽管这项研究表明，假装在童年中期仍然很普遍，但它并没有揭示它的功能。这是所有年龄段的重要问题，未来的研究应该解决这个问题。
Piaget (1962) asserted that children stop engaging in pretend play when they enter the concrete operational stage because they become able to accommodate reality and no longer need to assimilate it to their wishes. Consistent also with the views of Vygotsky, discussion of pretend play in developmental psychology is typically confined to early childhood, yet the activity itself does not seem to be so confined. As a preliminary investigation of pretend play in middle childhood, undergraduates were asked to complete a retrospective questionnaire about their childhood pretend play. The questionnaire items queried them about the content and context of their prior pretense engagements, when and why they stopped pretending, and personality characteristics relevant to pretense and fantasy. On average, respondents reported ceasing to pretend around 11 years of age. Among the statistically significant predictors of participants’ reported ages of ceasing to pretend were gender, childhood environs, siblings’ ages, belief in fantastical entities as a child, and participants involved in the last pretend memory. This preliminary study lays a foundation for future studies exploring the role of pretending in middle childhood. Although this study suggests that pretending is still widespread in middle childhood, it sheds no light on its function. This is an important issue across all ages that future research should address.
