Children's memory for counting-out rhymes: A cross-language comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
In English, counting-out rhymes, such as "Eenie Meenie,"vary little over retellings. Recall is not rote but is sensitive to the structure of the genre. To test the generality of this finding, a sample of Romanian rhymes was collected. Although there was no overlap with the English rhymes, the corpus of rhymes collected had similar structure in terms of number of lines, repeating words, rhyme, alliteration, and the inclusion of nonsense words. Variation within rhymes preserved the poetic structure of the genre. The results suggest that verbatim recall can be schema driven ifthere is sufficient structure.
