“…There has been little research into the effect that stress has upon memory for a repeated event, perhaps because it is difficult to create appropriate stimuli due to ethical considerations. This question however, is clearly an important direction for future research (Price & Connolly, 2007, 2008). The healthy lifestyle stimuli that speakers recalled in the current experiment is an adult analogue for the structured play session that has been used for decades to examine children's memory for a repeated event.…”

Recurring forms of abuse like domestic violence are unfortunately common. When an individual makes an allegation about their experience, however, there is rarely additional evidence to corroborate their claim. The veracity of the allegation is thus likely to be a central concern in subsequent proceedings. This experiment explored evaluator's perceptions of adults who were lying, or truthfully recalling a repeated event. In this experiment, participants observed a filmed interview of a speaker recalling an event they had experienced once, or a speaker recalling one instance of an event that they had experienced multiple times. Alternatively, some participants viewed an interview of a speaker who was lying about the event. Repeated-event speakers were perceived as less credible than both single-event speakers and liars. It is important that future research investigates ways to reduce the negative effect that the nature of memory for a repeated event has upon speakers' perceived credibility.

Section: Considerations Regarding Reports Of Repeated Victimizationmentioning

“…When reporting repeated abuse, witnesses may be required to describe details associated with specific occurrences and avoid confusing details among them (Powell, Roberts, & Guadagno, 2007). In particular, witnesses are required to give timeframes, locations, descriptions of who was there or other unique details specific to an occurrence, as well as the frequency of the offending (Powell et al, 2007). Distinguishing amongst, and providing narrative accounts of, individual occurrences is a difficult task for children (Powell, Roberts, Ceci, & Hembrooke, 1999;Roberts & Powell, 2001) and adults in the general population (Theunissen, Meyer, Memon, & Weinsheimer, 2017;Weinsheimer, Coburn, Chong, Mclean, & Connolly, 2017).…”

The current study explored the effectiveness of three interview protocols on the number and specificity of details provided by minimally verbal adults about a staged repeated event. Eighty adults (with expressive sentence length of around 5 words, matched on measures of expressive language and intellectual functioning) participated in three live events and were pseudo-randomly assigned to receive one of three interviews. The narrative-first protocol exhausted recall with open-ended questions before focused questions were asked, the intermixed protocol paired openended questions immediately followed by related focused questions, and the visual cues protocol mimicked the narrative-first protocol but with the use of cue cards. Overall, participants reported more correct information about the last occurrence in the intermixed and visual than narrativefirst interview. The narrative-first interview elicited fewer internal intrusions (experienced details attributed to the wrong occurrence) compared to the visual, but not the intermixed interview.Expressive language and intellectual function were positively associated with the reporting of event-related details. Providing information about repeated events was challenging for minimally verbal adults; reporting of generic event details was more frequent than occurrence-specific details, one-third of participants answered a question about event frequency incorrectly (by saying they participated once), and the remaining participants provided few details about the other occurrences when directed to do so. Findings were consistent with the broader repeated event literature on children and adult witnesses recalling repeated events. This research provides guidance for investigative interviewers on how best to obtain accurate event-related information from minimally verbal adults about their experiences.

“…De nombreux travaux ont montré que les enfants ayant été exposés à maintes reprises à un même événement parvenaient à produire des comptes rendus plus riches que les enfants n'ayant vécu qu'une seule fois l'événement mais peinaient, en revanche, à décrire l'épisode cible sur lequel portait leur audition (par ex. Pearse, Powell, & Thomson, 2003 ;Price & Connolly, 2007). Ainsi, les enfants témoins de faits répétés, particulièrement les plus jeunes d'entre eux (Powell, Thomson, & Dietze, 1997), mentionnent surtout les éléments communs à chaque occurrence de l'événement (c'est-à-dire, détails fixes) (Hudson, 1990 ;Powell & Thomson, 1996 ; pour une revue, voir Roberts & Powell, 2001).…”

The effectiveness of the Cognitive Interview to improve very young children' testimonies of a repeated event was assessed. Sixty-four children, ages 4-5, participated in a painting session either once or four times. Two days later, they were interviewed about the last session (i.e., the sole session for those who lived the event once) with either a cognitive interview or a structured interview. All the interviews ended in a set of eighteen questions, which could be neutral, leading or misleading. The results highlight a benefit of the Cognitive Interview to gather more accurate information without increasing joint errors and confabulations. This benefit is particularly observed on a repeated event, particularly for the report of fixed details. Finally, the Cognitive Interview led children who lived the event four times to be more resistant to misleading questions, but also to leading ones. These results are discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical implications.
