Recall of narrative material in five year olds White, William B.

Abstract

The recall performances of two groups (n= 16 in each) of kindergarten children (ages 4-11 to 5-10) who encountered narrative material under two different conditions were compared. The children who enacted the story with puppets while listening to it recalled significantly more story elements and both explicit and implicit information than did children who merely listened to the story narration. This was the case at post tests given 30 seconds and one week after the narrative material was encountered. Alternative interpretation of the results are discussed and suggestions about pedagogical implications and future studies are provided.
