Abstract

Using real-time eye-movement measures, we asked how a
fantastical discourse context competes with stored representations
of semantic and world knowledge to influence children's and
adults' moment-by-moment interpretation of a story. Seven-yearolds were less effective at bypassing stored semantic and world
knowledge during real-time interpretation than adults.
Nevertheless, an effect of discourse context on comprehension was
still apparent.
