Narrative Logic and Cognitive Transfer in Children's Theatre - A Study of Literary Extrapolation in Theatre, Film and Television Based on Creativity and Social Development

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Under the complex background of contemporary children's mental health problems and the intensification of educational involution, children's theatre, as a unique field integrating artistic expression and social simulation, needs to be explored in depth for its impact on children's cognitive and social development. Based on the logical deduction method of humanities and social sciences, this paper integrates empirical data and theoretical frameworks to construct a three-stage analysis model of "narrative logic-cognitive processing-social development", and systematically analyses the internal mechanism of narrative structure and cognitive transfer in children's theatre. The study found that drama activates children's metacognitive ability through world building, enhances social cognition through character interaction, cultivates problem solving ability through conflict resolution, and effectively promotes language development through multimodal symbolic interaction. At the same time, a three-dimensional analysis framework was constructed, including surface narrative, middle interaction, and deep transfer, revealing that children's theatre significantly enhances logical reasoning, social collaboration, and creative thinking. The study aims to provide methodological support for educational practice, build a bridge for interdisciplinary dialogue between art education and developmental psychology, and provide a new path for children's core literacy development.
