Question:
In a study of the way children and adults summarize stories, we selected 10 fifth graders and 10 adults. These were further subdivided into equal groups of good and poor readers
(on the hypothesis that good and poor readers may store or retrieve story information differently). All subjects read 10 short stories and were asked to summarize the story in their own words immediately after reading it. All summaries were content analyzed, and the numbers of statements related to Settings, Goals, and inferred Dispositions were recorded. The data are collapsed across the 10 stories:
Age Adults Children Items Setting Goal Disp. Setting Goal Disp.
Good readers 8 76 5 52 5 64 7 84 5 55 7 74 7 86 6 43 6 44 4 42 Poor readers 7 63 2 22 5 31 2 01 6 62 5 41 4 41 4 42 5 53 2 20 Run the appropriate analysis.
