The goal of this research was to investigate children’s recall of optional and obligatory
elements of a script-based story as the retention period increased. Typically developing
children, 20 kindergarteners and 20 second graders, participated. Children were asked to
retell a story immediately after exposure to it, as well as one week post-, and two weeks
post-exposure. Findings provide evidence that children of both age groups were able to
marshal their script knowledge to recall stories over time. Older children were able to recall
more elements and more of both, obligatory and optional elements, than younger children
across all recall attempts.
