Technology Play and Brain Development Infancy to Adolescence and Future Implications By: Doris Bergen; Darrel R. Davis; Jason T. Abbitt Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9781848724761, 1848724764 eText ISBN: 9781317400141, 1317400143 Edition: 1st Pages: 168 Copyright year: 2016 Format: EPUB Available from $ 23.18 USD SKU 9781317400141R90 Technology Play and Brain Development brings together current research on play development, learning technology, and brain development. The authors first navigate the play technology and brain development interface, highlighting the interactive qualities that make up each component. Next, they survey the changes in play materials and the variations in time periods for play that have occurred over the past 15-20 years, and then explain how these changes have had the potential to affect this play/brain developmental interaction. The authors also cover various types of technology-augmented play materials used by children at age levels from infancy to adolescence, and describe the particular qualities that may enhance or change brain development. In so doing, they present information on previous and current studies of the play and technology interface, in addition to providing behavioral data collected from parents and children of varied ages related to their play with different types of play materials. Significantly, they discuss how such play may affect social, emotional, moral, and cognitive development, and review futurist predictions about the potential qualities of human behavior needed by generations to come. The authors conclude with advice to toy and game designers, parents, educators, and the wider community on ways to enhance the quality of technology-augmented play experiences so that play will continue to promote the development of human characteristics needed in the future.
