The Effects of Storage and Processing Complexity on Comprehension Repair in Children and Adults.
Ackerman, Brian P.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v37 n2 p303-34 Apr 1984
Young children and college-age adults were read short stories describing a consistent or inconsistent adult response to a child's action and were given additional information that resolved or failed to resolve the inconsistency. Results concerned subjects' abilities to detect and resolve the inconsistency and to repair a comprehension problem in situations of varying difficulty. (Author/CI)
