Theory
Auerbach is perhaps best known for her hypothesis regarding "Play Quotient" or "PQ." She uses the term to refer to both a personality trait of individuals and a characteristic of toys, games and other playthings. Her theory is propounded in her book, Dr. Toy's Smart Play –Smart Toys: How to Raise a Child with a High PQ (Play Quotient), first published in 1998.
