School-Age Children's Understanding of Explanation Adequacy.
Milosky, Linda M.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v78 n5 p334-40 Oct 1986
Developmental differences in school-age children's evaluation of explanations were assessed. Results revealed differences between reply types and an interaction between reply type and grade. Adult ratings paralleled children's. Only fifth-grade students varied their justifications across reply type, providing more content-specific justifications. (Author/JAZ)
