Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Communication Studies
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Interactive communication skills are crucial for social development.
  • Previous research has focused on language acquisition, but less on interactive skill development.
  • Individual differences in communication abilities emerge early and persist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the development of interactive communication skills in children aged 7-13.
  • To identify strategies used by older and more successful communicators.
  • To analyze the factors contributing to communicative success in children.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a communication task involving extended dialogues between pairs of children.
  • Assessed overall communicative success for each pair.
  • Analyzed dialogue transcripts to identify interactive strategies.

Main Results:

  • Older children generally exhibited more successful communication strategies.
  • Successful communication relies on active participation, including asking questions and sensitive responses.
  • Significant variation in skill levels exists within age groups, with some older children performing poorly.

Conclusions:

  • Development of interactive communication skills is a prolonged process with considerable individual variation.
  • Effective communication requires active engagement and responsiveness to conversational partners.
  • Age is not the sole determinant of communicative competence; other factors significantly influence skill development.
