From Scaffolding to Transfer: The Impact of AI-Powered Narrative Support on Children’s Narrative Skills

This dataset contains narrative performance and interaction data from a study examining the impact of AI-powered narrative support on children’s storytelling skills. Below are detailed descriptions of all variables:
1.Participant Information
Child_ID: Unique identifier.
Age_months: Child’s age in months.
Condition: Experimental group (Passive-Active Retelling, Iterative Storytelling with AI Feedback, Autonomous Storytelling with AI Feedback).
Gender: Child’s gender (boy, girl).
Child_AI_Interaction_Duration: Interaction time (minutes).

2. Narrative Scores
Narrative skills were assessed for three stories (Cat, Dog, Baby Bird) across three dimensions: story structure, story complexity, and internal state terms. Scores are labeled by story (Cat, Dog, Baby Bird).
[Story] A1–A20: Story structure subitem scores (e.g., CatA1, DogA1).
[Story] A Total: Total core of story structure.
[Story]B1–B4: Story complexity classification counts (B1=Attempt-Outcome, B2=Goal, B3=Goal-Attempt/Outcome, B4=Goal-Attempt-Outcome).
[Story]B Total: Total score of weighted story complexity (=B1*1 + B2*2 + B3*3 + B4*4).
[Story]C Total: Total score of internal state terms.

3.Subjective Ratings
Enjoyment: Perceived enjoyment.
Interest: Perceived interest.
