Sentence Comprehension in Preschool Children: Testing an Adaptive Egocentrism Hypothesis.
Mood, Darlene Weisblatt
Child Development, v50 n1 p247-50 Mar 1979

Experiment 2 was conducted to rule out focusing of attention as an alternative explanation. Results showed that personalized sentence content facilitated children's comprehension. (JMB)
