Abstract
- This study examines children's sentence comprehension by determining the relative effect which training sessions involving helpful linguistic and visualālinguistic contexts have on improving children's ability to comprehend reversible passive sentences. The results suggest that the positive effect which helpful visual contexts have on sentence comprehension is limited to immediate sentence comprehension and that children's ability to comprehend reversible passive sentences is developmental. The results support the position that young children have difficulty comprehending reversible passive sentences because they have not yet mastered the syntactic strategies needed to decode such structures.
