作者采用了一种实验设计来检验在进入儿童博物馆展览之前的指导对照顾者与儿童的互动和儿童的学习的影响。121名儿童(平均年龄为6.6岁)和他们的照顾者被随机分配到5个条件中的第一个，这些条件根据双方所接受的展示前的指导而不同：(A)建立和对话指导，(B)只建立指导，(C)只进行对话指导，(D)展示建筑物模型和没有指导的对话，或(E)不指导或控制。建筑说明包括关于三角形交叉支撑的信息。会话教学强调使用精心设计的wh疑问句和联想。在图示中观察到，接受建造指导的组中的双联体在其结构中包含的三角形比其他组中的多。与只接受建造指导的照顾者相比，接受对话指导的照顾者问更多的wh-问题，进行更多的联想，参与更多的照顾者-儿童联合谈话。教学类型还与不同条件下的差异有关，包括谈话的工程化内容、即时学习评估中的表现以及儿童在延迟1天和2周后的记忆力。
The authors adapted an experimental design to examine effects of instruction prior to entry into a children's museum exhibit on caregiver-child interactions and children's learning. One hundred twenty-one children (mean age = 6.6 years) and their caregivers were randomly assigned to I of 5 conditions that varied according to what, if any, preexhibit instruction the dyads received: (a) building and conversation instruction, (b) building instruction only, (c) conversation instruction only, (d) presentation of models of buildings and conversations without instruction, or (e) no instruction or control. Building instruction included information about triangular cross-bracing. Conversation instruction emphasized the use of elaborative wh-questions and associations. When observed in the exhibit, dyads in the groups that received building instruction included more triangles in their structures than those in the other groups. Caregivers provided with conversation instruction asked more wh-questions, made more associations, and engaged in more caregiver-child joint talk compared with those who received building instruction alone. Type of instruction was further linked to differences across conditions in the engineering content of talk, performance during immediate assessments of learning, and children's memory following 1-day and 2-week delays.
