Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has found that preschoolers who experience the elaborative style (where the adult asks open-ended questions and encourages the child to provide more details) recall more information about past events than preschoolers who experience the repetitive style (where the adult asks the same questions repeatedly). This is supported by studies such as the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. The other statements are not supported by research.
