Three theories of play are reviewed and discussed in terms of their applicability to exceptional children. The theories--Freud's psychodynamic, Piaget's developmental, and Ellis' arousal-seeking--are compared on the basis of: 1. the validity of their constructs, 2. their ability to account for behaviors of exceptional children, and 3. the likelihood that they could generate future play research with an exceptional population. It was concluded that the only theory that could hope to meet these requirements at this time was the arousal-seeking theory of Ellis.
本文回顾并讨论了三种游戏理论及其对特殊儿童的适用性。这三种理论分别是弗洛伊德的心理动力学理论、皮亚杰的发展理论和埃利斯的寻求唤醒理论。基于以下几点对这些理论进行了比较：1. 其理论架构的有效性；2. 解释特殊儿童行为的能力；3. 它们能够引发针对特殊人群未来游戏研究的可能性。结论是，目前唯一有望满足这些要求的理论是埃利斯的寻求唤醒理论。
