It was found that gender differences do not follow a uniform pattern across age groups and elicitation contexts. Variation in the performance in these narrative tasks has been explained with behavioural observations from literature, cognitive architecture and a working memory model. All three parameters are found to be quantitatively high in SR than in SG. The results reveal an increasing trend in all three microstructure parameters across both contexts. The samples thus obtained are analyzed for three narrative microstructure parameters, namely total number of words (TNW) in the narrative, mean length of utterances (MLU) and the number of utterances. It then compares their narrative productivity across two elicitation contexts: story retelling (SR) and story generation (SG). The present study records the development of microstructure elements of narratives in 200 typically developing Tamil-speaking children aged between three years and six years and eleven months. ‘Narrative’ can be simply defined as a spoken or written account of connected events or experiences.
