Abstract
Ninety-six white, predominantly working class children, aged 31 to 91 years, chosen from a nursery school and an elementary school in a small town in Ohio, participated in the present study. There were sixteen children, eight boys and eight girls, in each of the six yearly age ranges, with mean ages of 4 years, 1 month, 5 years, 1 month, and 6 years, 7 years, 8 years, and 9 years, 0 months, respectively. Two additional subjects were dropped because of a failure to produce at least three narratives. The authors served as experimenters, and half of the available subjects at each age and sex level were randomly assigned to each experimenter.
