Developmental Spans in Event Comprehension and Representation: Bridging Fictional and Actual Events
Editat de Paul van den Broek, Patricia J. Bauer, Tammy Bourgen Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 1997
The individuals whose work is represented in this book conduct their work in a shared environment--they all have an intellectual and scholarly interest in event comprehension and representation. These interests are manifest in the overlapping themes of their work. These include a focus on how people come to temporally integrate individual "snapshots" to form a coherent event that unfolds over time, to understand cause and effect, and to appreciate the role of the goal of events. Another overlapping theme involves the possibility of individual differences. These themes are apparent in work on the early development of representations of specific episodes and autobiographical memories, and comprehension of complex events such as stories involving multiple characters and emotions.
The editors of this volume had two missions:
* to create a development span by bringing together researchers working from infancy to adulthood, and
* to create a bridge between individuals working from within the text comprehension perspective, within the naturalistic perspective, and with laboratory analogues to the naturalistic perspective.
Their measure of success will be the extent to which they have been able to create a picture of the course of development across a wide span in chronological age, and across different types of events--from fictional to actual.

Recenzii
"The chapters go together thematically better than often occurs with edited works, the chapters are generally well written, and the first and final chapters bookend the material more effectively than is common in this genre."
—Contemporary Psychology
"Both individually, and as a whole, the chapters provide a comprehensive overview of the assumptions and goals underlying event representation research, the work that has been conducted to date, and continuing efforts within this area. Each of the chapter authors provides a thorough review of existing literature, and most place much-needed emphasis on discrepancies and apparent contradictions in the empirical findings, carefully examining competing theories and the research in support of each."
