Preschool and first grade children's recall of script-based event sequences was studied in four different instruction conditions. Differences in sequencing ability were observed in relation to age and sequence.

Data indicates that some ability of this genre appears to exist by age 2. The data also suggests a distinction between an earlier and a…
