Acquisition of an Unfamiliar Script in Story Form by Young Children.
Slackman, Elizabeth; Nelson, Katherine
Child Development, v55 n2 p329-40 Apr 1984
Children in preschool, first, and third grades heard similar versions of an unfamiliar script-like story followed by a novel story, then were tested for immediate and delayed recall. Children more often confused parts of the similar stories with each other than with the novel story; in addition, preschoolers showed less evidence of constructive processing than did older children.
