Using a historical framework, and focusing on play as represented by material artifacts such as toys and games, this book explores play as a form of somatic engagement that reflects cultural attitudes about development and learning as these have evolved over time in western culture. Theorists in the twentieth century such as Klein and Winnicott, Huizinga and Callois, Piaget, Bruner and Vygotsy brought different perspectives to our understanding of play’s role in our society. In particular, Vygotsky’s theories about process provide insight into how children attend to learning and assimilate new information. The increasing use of digital media as both an entertainment and learning environment at ever-younger ages, is generating new discussions about the nature and value of play in children’s development, in particular, physical, or somatic play. The emphasis on games intended for children necessitates a discussion of the cognitive, behavioral, and neuroscience that supports play activities and physical engagement as a crucial aspect of development. The book then looks at the trajectory of digital games in contemporary culture and explores whether these artifacts (whether intended for learning or entertainment) have extended or are curtailing boundaries of somatic engagement. Finally, the book discusses alternative play and game design and, speculates on the future of new media play artifacts.SpringerBriefs in Computer Science,2191-5768User interfaces (Computer systems)Multimedia systems Child developmentWell-beingChildrenUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interactionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18067Media Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I25004Early Childhood Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O37000Child Well-beinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X31000User interfaces (Computer systems).Multimedia systems .Child development.Well-being.Children.User Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction.Media Design.Early Childhood Education.Child Well-being.794.8083Madej Krystinaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut867329MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155323003321Physical Play and Children’s Digital Games1963599UNINA
