Compared children's
recall for alternative event components in spontaneous and probed
recall conditions. Children four and seven years old participated
in two activities in which components varied. Spontaneous and probed
reports were solicited. Recall of variable elements was greater
when probed than when spontaneous, especially for older children.
This suggests complexity of children's event representation increases
with age. (TM)
