Elaborative communication involves asking the child open-ended questions, encouraging them to give detailed responses, and making connections to their existing knowledge. This type of communication is shown to enhance children's memory recall of events. Repetitive communication can hinder children's memory recall as it may cause confusion, while prospective and child-centered styles may not necessarily promote detailed memory recall.
