Children's Memories of Experienced and Nonexperienced Events Following Repeated Interviews.
Quas, Jodi A.; Schaaf, Jennifer M.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v83 n4 p304-38 Dec 2002
This study compared 3- and 5-year-olds' reports of a true or false play interaction following repeated interviews. Findings indicated age-related improvements in performance. Three-year-olds questioned repeatedly about a false event made more errors in response to specific questions than their age-mates questioned about false details of a true event. Five-year-olds questioned about false events were particularly accurate when answering questions about never-experienced body touch. Interviewer familiarity affected performance. (Author/KB)
