The Social Construction of Personal Narratives.

Fivush, Robyn

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v37 n1 p59-81 Jan 1991

Mothers' ways of structuring conversations about past events are related to children's abilities to structure personal narratives. When mothers provided temporally complex and informationally dense narratives about the past to their 2 1/2-year olds, the children recounted similar accounts a year later. (Author/BB)
