| Annotation | Reports on an experiment analysing a procedure which had previously been shown to at least double incidents of participation in discussion of morning news by adult day clients. A newspaper was scanned for articles which were judged to be either of interest or little interest. Articles were either 'read' to clients, or 'told' to them in a summary form. 'Telling' news stories maintained high levels of participation, whether or not of interest; whereas when stories were 'read' participation was high only with articles judged to be of interest. |
