Golinkoff to discuss play at UDARF meeting 3:16 p.m., April 1, 2004--Roberta Golinkoff, H. Rodney Sharp Chair in Human Services, Education and Public Policy, will speak on “Learning Through Play” at a meeting of the University of Delaware Association of Retired Faculty (UDARF) at 3:30 p.m., Friday, April 16, at the Blue & Gold Club Tavern. The event is free and open to the public. An optional happy hour or dinner will follow at 4:30 p.m. According to Golinkoff, play is important to children because it offers them an opportunity to have a bit of power. “The key to success in the 21st century is not to retrieve facts—we have Google for that-—it is to come up with new combinations, to put things together in new ways. And that is what play is,” she said. Golinkoff is coauthor of “Einstein Never Used Flash Cards,” which recently was recognized as the top book of psychology by the New York City chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. A graduate of Brooklyn College, Golinkoff has a doctorate in developmental psychology from Cornell University and directs the Infant Language Project at UD.
