Researchers found that the number of objects or individuals to be discussed affected taskdifficulty. It was easier to understand a story about an accident that involved two or three cars than one involving four or five. However,what was also significant was the distinguish-ability of the objects or individuals. If a story was about a boy and a girl, it was easierto tell than one about two girls, which again was easier than a story about three girls. The number and complexity of events also affecteddifficulty, and in description tasks simplicity and symmetry of spatial structures was important. In sum, the more elements, factors orevents there are in the task material, the more complex the language that the speakers need to use, and therefore the more challengingthe task. Thus, if there are several picture-based narrative tasks that are intended to be parallel, the test developers should check thateach picture sequence involves a similar number of characters and events to make the tasks more comparable.

Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858to open a bookstore. At first he prospered by selling his small but genuine collection of early US autographs. Discoveringhis ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin andwriting them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England andCanada for sale and circulation.Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can’t approach a respectable buyer but must deal withpeople who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example,they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented arespectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall” Jackson. For severalyears Miss Fanny’s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to herfamous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity, which did not prevent Spring fromdying in poverty, left sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.
