This retrospective study incorporating drawing and group discussion examined the memories
of 478 university students in Sweden regarding their play at 4 age periods: 3-6 years, 7-12
years, 13-18 years, and adult. Findings indicated that ages 7-12 years were especially
important for play memories: people, place, and interaction were all considered important
influences or components of play memories. (Author/KB)
