Concept information

Preferred term

memory and play  

Definition(s)

  • As an activity that requires cognitive engagement, play has the capacity to impact memory, both the formation of individual memories and the capacity for improved memory function. Children engaged in play are more adept at memory for several reasons—one reason is that memory is an emotionally charged experience, and emotionally charged experiences are often more readily recalled.
