Social play among juvenile peers facilitates the acquisition of social and cognitive competence in humans, non-human primates, and rats.
“Social play among juvenile peers has been shown to facilitate the acquisition of social and cognitive competence in humans, non-human primates, and rats (Palagi et al., 2016;Pellegrini, 1988;Suomi & Harlow, 1972;Sigman & Ruskin, 1999;Hol et al., 1999;Guralnick et al., 2006;Cordoni & Palagi, 2011;Van Den Berg et al., 1999).”

Social play contributes to the development of adult social and emotional skills.
“Social play contributes to the development of adult social and emotional skills (Pellegrini, 1988; Vanderschuren et al., 1997; Hol et al., 1999; Van den Berg et al., 1999) and is ideal for studying the neurobiology of social development.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
