"I saw it with my own ears": The Effects of Peer Conversations on Preschoolers' Reports of Nonexperienced Events.
Principe, Gabrielle F.; Ceci, Stephen J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v83 n1 p1-25 Sep 2002
Explored effects of naturally-occurring peer interactions and repeated suggestive interviews on preschoolers' event memories. Found that suggestive interviews, combined with peer exposure, led to children's claims of witnessing target activities comparable to those of children who actually witnessed these activities. Assent rates for misleading questions employing peer pressure and false claims of actually seeing versus hearing about target activities were elevated following opportunities to discuss activities with peers.
