To evaluate the clinical utility of the narrative scoring scheme (NSS) as an index of narrative macrostructure for young school-age children.
Oral retells of a wordless picture book were elicited from 129 typically developing children, ages 5-7. A series of correlations and hierarchical regression equations were completed using microstructural measures of vocabulary and grammar to predict NSS scores.
While the NSS was significantly correlated with age and each of the microstructural measures, the hierarchical regression analyses revealed a unique relationship between vocabulary and narrative macrostructure.
The NSS is an efficient and informative tool for documenting children's development of narrative macrostructure. The relationship between the NSS and microstructural measures demonstrates that it is a robust measure of children's overall oral narrative competence and a powerful tool for clinicians and researchers. The unique relationship between lexical diversity and the NSS confirmed that a special relationship exists between vocabulary and narrative organization skills in young school-age children.
评估叙事评分方案（NSS）作为一种指标的叙事宏观结构，为年轻的学龄儿童。
口头复述的无字图画书引起了 129 名典型的发展中的孩子，年龄 5-7 岁。一系列的相关性和层次回归方程使用微观结构的措施，词汇和语法来预测 NSS 得分。
虽然 NSS 与年龄和每一个微观结构的措施显著相关，层次回归分析显示了词汇和叙事结构之间的独特关系。
NSS 是一个有效的和信息丰富的工具，为记录儿童的发展叙事结构。NSS 与微观结构的措施之间的关系表明，它是一个强大的工具，为临床医生和研究人员的儿童整体口头叙述能力。独特的关系之间的词汇多样性和 NSS 确认之间存在着特殊的关系词汇和叙事组织技能在年轻的学龄儿童。
