Abstract Caregiver-child dyads discuss unshared experiences on a daily basis. Yet, most research explores how dyads discuss shared experiences, with limited examination of how caregivers elicit information when discussing unshared experiences. The present study examined how caregivers modify their narrative style across the two conversation types, while also considering conversation goal and child recall. Eighty-six dyads discussed a shared past experience and unshared play activity experienced by the child. Caregivers were randomly assigned to discuss the play activity with the goal of gathering facts or having fun. Caregivers varied their conversation style when discussing the unshared event relative to the shared event and modified their conversation style somewhat depending on the assigned conversation goal. Caregivers’ conversation styles and child individual characteristics predicted children’s provision of correct information about the activity. Results preliminarily suggest caregivers use a unique approach to talk about unshared relative to shared events.

照顾者-儿童在不同背景下的回忆和叙述

摘要 照顾者-儿童二人每天讨论不共享的经历。然而，大多数研究探讨了二人如何讨论共同经历，而对看护者在讨论非共同经历时如何引出信息的研究有限。本研究调查了看护人如何在两种对话类型中修改他们的叙述风格，同时还考虑了对话目标和儿童回忆。86 个二人组讨论了孩子共同的过去经历和非共同的游戏活动。看护人被随机分配讨论游戏活动，目的是收集事实或玩得开心。在讨论相对于共享事件的非共享事件时，护理人员会改变他们的谈话风格，并根据指定的谈话目标稍微修改他们的谈话风格。看护人的谈话风格和儿童的个人特征预测了儿童提供有关活动的正确信息。结果初步表明，护理人员使用一种独特的方法来谈论与共享事件相关的非共享事件。
