Misleading Children's Story Recall: Forgetting and Reminiscence of the Facts.

Howe, Mark L.

Developmental Psychology, v27 n5 p746-63 Sep 1991

Examined misinformation effects in kindergartners' and second graders' long-term recollection. Results of two experiments showed that (1) misinformation effects were related to rate of forgetting but not to age; (2) developmental differences in retention were controlled by forgetting; and (3) reminiscence increased the probability of correct recall.
