Place and Action in Children's Representations of Stories.
Ackerman, Brian P.; Glickman, Ilene
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v48 n2 p246-69 Oct 1989
Four experiments examined the prominence of place and action representation in the story representations of second-, fifth-, and sixth-grade children and college students. Results suggested that place inconsistency is more important than action inconsistency in children's judgments of story adequacy except when the action involves the story theme. (SAK)
