The difference in recall of a story when young children talked about it to different listeners was investigated. Six-year-old children were asked to transmit the contents to different listeners just after watching an animated cartoon. There were three experimental conditions; they talked about the story 1) to their peers, 2) to their mothers, and 3) to unfamiliar experimenters. The results showed that 1) while talking to their mothers, the amount of their utterances was many more than under the other two conditions. 2) The concreteness of description was different between conditions; while talking to their peers, their description was vivid and pictorial, but this was not so when talking to the experimenter. Therefore, young children's recall of the story was strongly influenced by the kinds of listeners. But the pattern of recall, i.e., the part they commonly recalled, was quite similar in all groups, thus reflecting their framework for understanding stories.
