Children at Play “The most general examinations of play are embedded in the exploration/play literature. This research suggests that the play of preschoolers is followed by diverse exploration, or searching the environment for stimuli that are arousing. Research defines play as a rather stable set of responses to stimuli, such as casual and easily distracted attention to objects and stereotyped actions, whereas exploration is seen as more deliberate and often stereotyped. Children in these settings are observed alone in laboratory settings suggests that play has a solitary dimension. The transition from play to diverse exploration is continuous, rather than discontinuous” (Boyd & Pellegrini 106). Exploration is a common behavior engaged in by infants from birth to approximately 2 years of age. Exploration can be solitary or social, with social exploration typically involving a parent or another adult. Mastering and ignoring comments relevant to skills already mastered or beyond their capabilities is relevant to tasks that they are in the process of learning (Boyd & Pellegrini 110).
