Effect of Presenting a Message in Written Form on Young Children's Ability to Evaluate Its Communication Adequacy.
Bonitatibus, Gary J.; Flavell, John H.
Developmental Psychology, v21 n3 p455-61 May 1985
Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that first-grade beginning readers could evaluate the referential-communicative adequacy of simple, two-word messages better if they received oral-plus-written messages rather than oral-only messages. Results indicated that oral-plus-written messages were significantly easier for children to evaluate accurately than oral-only ones. (Author/DST)
