Abstract
To compare cognitive processing of theatre with what is known in television research, this study describes 32 fifth graders' dramatic literacy. Children overwhelmingly processed information from within a production's confines rather than from their general world knowledge. Their heavy reliance on explicit visual modes hampered their use and integration of verbal modes to derive deeper psychological implications.
Description
Children responded to a production of Don Quixote of La Mancha.
