What Moghaddam means by his statement is that "play" acts as a learning experience for children where they enjoy the idea of acting above their actual age. By doing so, they are able to interact with those around them to develop themselves mentally and understand their surroundings.
An example would be the idea of "playing house" or "playing doctor".
When I was younger, I would love to play the role of the mother and take care of the children by feeding them, bathing them and getting them dressed. I remembered that I would always ask my mom to sweep or even do the dishes because it seemed fun and interesting.
In summary, I wanted to become an adult who was the "boss" of the house or had many responsibilities.
Even with the role play of being a doctor, I would go outside and find all sorts of leaves and flowers and would then crush them and would mix them together with water. I would even go through the struggle of placing it in a water bottle to "preserve" it.
All in short, all this "play" acts as a learning experience for children to get a brief idea of social roles in society.
