It is well known that children's activities are full of pretending
and imagination, but it is less appreciated that animals can also
show similar activities. Originally published in 2002, this book
focuses on comparing and contrasting children's and animals'
pretenses and imaginative activities. In the text, overviews of
research present conflicting interpretations of children's
understanding of the psychology of pretense, and describe
sociocultural factors which influence children's pretenses. Studies
of nonhuman primates provide examples of their pretenses and other
simulative activities, explore their representational and
imaginative capacities and compare their skills with children.
Although the psychological requirements for pretending are
controversial, evidence presented in this volume suggests that
great apes and even monkeys may share capacities for imagination
with children, and that children's early pretenses may be less
psychological than they appear.
