The purpose of the present study was to examine stimulus variables when eliciting stories from normal school-age children. Subjects were 24 third grade students exhibiting at least average performance in the classroom. Results indicated that spontaneous stories yielded more clauses and more subordination whereas narratives elicited with a visual stimulus resulted in a higher level story developmentally. Results are discussed relative to establishing a data base on the expressive language skills of school-age children.
