The Index of Narrative Microstructure: A Clinical Tool for Analyzing School-Age Children’s Narrative Performances

Abstract

This study provided a method for professionals to calculate INMIS scores for narrative Productivity and Complexity for comparison against field test data for age (5- to 12-year-old) or grade (kindergarten to Grade 6) groupings. INMIS scores complement other tools in evaluating a child's narrative performance specifically and language abilities more generally.
