The influence of the medium on children's comprehension of narrative

The study reported here examined 56 second and fourth grade children's recall and comprehension of a story presented in two different media, print or audiovisual. It was hypothesized that children in the print condition would recall more story content than children in the audiovisual condition and that children in the print condition would produce more elaborated responses to open-ended questions than children in the audiovisual condition.
