Chris,

Though I would be hard pressed to remember in which publication, I know that
Piaget did some research in the role of play-acting in child development.
Hope this is somewhat useful.

Does anyone know of any research showing the effects of costuming on
people's ability to role-play?

Even better: specifically for children, specifically in a museum setting.

Thanks.
