two questions please

[Annette Karmiloff-Smith]

First, thanks to all those on CHILDES and 
dev-europe who answered my query about babbling. 
These are such wonderful networks.  I have, if I 
may, two more questions.

1.  Can anyone point me to research testing 
whether young children learn information better 
when it is embedded in song and/or dance, rather 
than purely in spoken language?

2.  Would five year olds be able to distinguish 
something that actually happened from something 
they are repeatedly told by an adult had 
happened?  Relevant research pointers?

Many thanks, as always,
Annette
