metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Various experimental techniques are used in child language studies to research the
  development of coherent and cohesive narrative. The most common of them are the elicitation narrative tasks based on a series of pictures or on a video, for example, a
  cartoon. However, the comparison of the studies carried out using different methods
  shows the results that can both coincide and significantly diverge. Among the factors
  that influence the basic narrative characteristics of elicited child stories are age, the
  type of visual stimulus, its length, and the way the narrative is produced (online vs. subsequent
  mode). The following basic characteristics are considered to study the structure
  of narratives: opening and closing markers, details and separateness of the narration,
  the variety of characters and the presence (absence) of evaluation. The question
  whether the type of visual stimulus has a significant effect on the basic characteristics
  of children’s narratives and whether it is possible to construct a general description of
  the development of narrative skills regardless of the experimental task chosen by the
  researchers is discussed with a comparative analysis of oral narratives collected within
  two series of experiments with Russian native monolingual children of the senior
  preschool and primary school age. The analysis showed that although it is possible to
  reveal some tendencies inherent in the narratives collected with different experimental
  methods, the type of visual stimulus does not have any statistically significant effect on
  the basic characteristics of the narratives of primary schoolchildren. Only the differences
  in evaluation and closing markers in the narratives of older preschoolers, elicited
  either simultaneously with watching the cartoon or during its subsequent retelling, are
  statistically significant. Refs 37.
