Comprehension of Past and Future Reference Revisited.

Harner, Lorraine

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v29 n1 p170-82 Feb 1980

In order to gain information on children's understanding of two different language forms (verb tense and adverbials "before" and "after") which can refer to past or future events, sentences containing either past tense, future tense, "before," or "after" were presented with sets of sequential pictures to 150 children from three to seven years old.
