The Monkey Book
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The original experimentation was conducted with monolingual children in three different countries: Japan, France, and England. To avoid confusion as to whether the pages should turn left-to-right as in all English and French children’s books, or right-to-left as in most (but not all) Japanese children’s books, the book was designed so that the binding was at the top and the pages could be flipped over from front to back. The action on each page proceeds from left to right as the monkey chases the parrot, and right to left when he runs back home. Pages targeting motion events are divided into two or three cartoon frames, as is standard in many published children’s picture-books. However, the return journey is represented all on one page, with multiple images of the monkey. This was in order to counterbalance any possible unwanted ‘frame effects’, and to have two different types of pictorial stimuli for each type of Path.
