We examined the concurrent relationship between narrative skills (the Renfrew Bus Story Test) and core language measures (vocabulary, grammar and verbal memory) at age 4 and the longitudinal relationship between core language and listening comprehension skills at age 7 in a sample of 215 children using latent variables and structural equation modelling. Our main purpose was to investigate to what extent narrative retell constitutes a unique influence on later language and listening comprehension skills. The results support a two-factor model of narrative retelling and core language representing different but related constructs at age 4. Narrative retell explained unique variance in later language skills but did not explain additional variance beyond the 58% explained by the age 4 language construct. Similarly, narrative retell predicted unique variance in later listening comprehension, but not beyond what was explained by core language skills at age 4. The strength of the relationship between narrative retelling at age 4 and the age 7 measures was not related to the level of narrative skills. The results indicate that age 4 traditional core language measures capture more of the skills that are important for later language and listening comprehension than narrative skills at the same age.

儿童叙事能力与其他语言能力的并发和纵向关系

我们以215名儿童为样本,研究了4岁时叙事技巧(Renfrew巴士故事测验)与核心语言测评(词汇,语法和言语记忆)之间的并发关系以及7岁时核心语言与听力理解能力之间的纵向关系。使用潜在变量和结构方程模型。我们的主要目的是调查叙述性叙述在多大程度上对后来的语言和听力理解能力产生了独特的影响。结果支持叙事重述和核心语言的两因素模型,代表了4岁时不同但相关的结构。叙事重述解释了后来语言技能中的独特差异,但没有解释超出4岁语言结构所解释的58%的其他差异。相似地,叙事复述预测了以后的听力理解中的独特差异,但没有超出4岁时核心语言技能所解释的水平。4岁时叙事复述和7岁时测验之间的关系强度与叙事技巧的水平无关。结果表明,与同龄人的叙事技巧相比,年龄为4岁的传统核心语言习俗所捕获的技能更多的是对以后的语言和听力理解至关重要的技能。
