Young Children's Responses to "When" Questions: Issues of Directionality.
French, Lucia Ann
Child Development, v60 n1 p225-36 Feb 1989
Assesses whether 30 children aged three-five years had a preferred direction in responding to "when"-questions and whether this preference could be influenced by story structure. Results indicated that children showed a preference for "after"-type responses and that productions of "before" were more likely to be erroneous than productions of "after." (RJC)
