假装游戏对儿童的发展很重要。然而，最近的研究表明，随着学龄前儿童年龄的增长和对假装游戏的精通，他们更喜欢真实的物体。我们研究了幼儿在小的时候是否更喜欢真实的物体，以及当他们长大后更精通假装游戏的情况下。43名18、24和30个月大的幼儿接触了色彩鲜艳的玩具、木制玩具和真正的餐具。我们检查了他们在假装做饭时选择的玩具/物体。对儿童年龄组和三种玩具/物体类型的卡方检验表明，18个月大的婴儿更喜欢颜色鲜艳的玩具，而30个月大的婴儿更喜欢真正的餐具。这一结果表明，在30个月大的时候，孩子们表现出对真实物体的偏好。此外，幼儿可能会喜欢不同类型的玩具/物体，这取决于他们的发展。这项研究的发现可能有助于确定适合儿童发展的玩具/物品。
Pretend play is important for children's development. However, recent research indicates that, as preschool children age and get more proficient at pretend play, they prefer real objects. We examined whether toddlers prefer real objects when they are younger as well as when they are older and more proficient in pretend play situations. Forty-three 18-, 24-, and 30-month-old toddlers were exposed to brightly coloured toys, wooden toys, and real tableware. We examined which toy/object they chose when they engaged in pretend cooking. Chi-square tests with children's age groups and three toy/object types showed that 18-month-olds preferred brightly coloured toys, while 30-month-olds preferred real tableware. This result implies that at the age of 30 months, children show a preference for real objects. Additionally, toddlers may prefer different types of toys/objects depending on their development. The findings of this study may help to identify developmentally appropriate toys/objects for children.
