Experimental Manipulation of the Recall of Narrative Materials by Five-Year-Olds.

Travis, LeRoy D.; White, William B.

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v25 n3 p137-46 Sep 1979

Children who enacted the story while hearing it significantly recalled more narrative content and implicit and explicit information. (DS)
