Coquin-Viennot, Daniele; Coirier, Pierre – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 1992
Reports on a study of written protocols by 147 children, ages 7-14. Comparisons were made between those who were asked to debate an issue (formal discourse) and those who were asked to defend an opinion (natural discourse). Finds that older children were able to use different structures for argumentation and write longer arguments. (CFR)
