Pretend play appears to be an evolved behavior because it is universal and appears on a set schedule. However, no specific functions have been determined for pretend play and empirical tests for its functions in humans are elusive. Yet animal play fighting can serve as an analog, as both activities involve as-if, metacommunicative signaling and symbolism. In the rat and some other animals, adaptive functions of play fighting include assisting social behavior and emotion regulation. Research is presented suggesting that pretend play might serve similar functions for humans.

为什么孩子们(假装)玩耍?

假装游戏似乎是一种进化的行为,因为它是普遍的,并且按照既定的时间表出现。然而,尚未确定假装游戏的具体功能,并且对其在人类中的功能进行的实证测试难以捉摸。然而,动物游戏打架可以作为一种模拟,因为这两种活动都涉及仿佛、元交流信号和象征意义。在大鼠和其他一些动物中,游戏打架的适应性功能包括辅助社交行为和情绪调节。研究表明,假装游戏可能为人类提供类似的功能。
