Lasst unsere Kinder spielen!

The study of neurobiological cognition has proved the importance of playing on human brain development. But what does this mean for the education of our children? How does playing affect the learning process and the attention of children? Is it possible to draw conclusions for their next developmental stage from the way children play? And how is playing related to reasoning and perception?André Frank Zimpel devotes himself to such central problems. He not only demonstrates the way children develop the ability to imagine things, he also provides instructions to effectively support this development. All imagined playing situations form heralds for developing mind capacities, which are necessary to survive in modern society.

Dr. André Frank Zimpel ist Professor für Erziehungswissenschaft unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Förderschwerpunktes Geistige Entwicklung und mit dem Forschungsschwerpunkt Rehabilitationspsychologische Diagnostik an der Universität Hamburg.
