Research on comprehension monitoring using the error detection paradigm indicates that children have difficulty monitoring their comprehension of text. In past studies children have not been specifically asked to apply their knowledge while listening to or reading text. Consequently, children may not have been listening or reading for meaning. Perspective taking is an example of a task which can encourage children to apply what they know to information they are encoding. In the present study, two stories were used, each of which could be read from two distinct perspectives. Each story contained information relevant to each perspective. In the first of two studies it was shown that second and fourth graders can successfully rate passage content from each of two perspectives. In the second study, two errors were placed in each story, one relevant to each perspective. Second and fourth graders were asked to adopt perspectives and then listen to each story. Error detection was recorded. In addition, subjects ware asked to recall the stories. Fourth graders detected more perspective relevant errors and recalled more perspective relevant information. It is argued that, while second and fourth graders have the knowledge necessary to identify errors, fourth graders are more likely to apply it on-line during comprehension.
