Preferred term

play as rehearsal of reality  

Definition

  • Psychologists and anthropologists have tried to explain the human ability to play as an instinctive way to learn and practice skills. In other words, playing would be an activity, which allows us to “rehearse reality,” and thus to learn from mistakes, accumulate experience, construct knowledge to face and shape reality.
