Emotion and Memory: Children's Long-Term Remembering, Forgetting, and Suggestibility.

Quas, Jodi A.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v72 n4 p235-70 Apr 1999

Examined 3- to 13-year olds' memories for an experienced and a never-experienced medical procedure. Found that children 4 years or older at time of the procedure described it more accurately than did younger children. Longer delays between procedure and recall were related to providing fewer correct information units but not more inaccuracies. Parental avoidant attachment was related to increased children's errors. (Author/KB)
