Preferred term

high elaborative reminiscing style  

Definition

  • Mothers who use a highly elaborative reminiscence style often talk with their child about the past by asking many questions. They incorporate the child's answers into the construction of the story, encourage participation in the conversation, and add their own comments to the story. This conversational style is thought to help children better remember the past and organize their autobiographical narratives.
