“…22 Children provide especially biased responses to discrete (e.g., yes/no) questions 23-26 and have been shown to have difficulty making frequency judgments as required by the Child-SCAT3. 27,28 Consequently, it is considered best practice when interviewing young children to maximize the use of open-ended questions and engage in pre-interview “ground rules” discussions to allow children to practice saying “I don't know” and asking for clarification. 29 …”

Objective To determine the normative, baseline performance and psychometric properties of the Child Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 3 (Child-SCAT3) in 5-13 year-old athletes. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Practice filds. Participants Contact sport athletes (N = 155) 5-13 years old. Independent Variables Age, gender, verbal intellectual functioning (receptive vocabulary) Main Outcome Measures Child-SCAT3: self- and parent-reported symptoms, cognitive performance (child form of the standardized assessment of concussion; SAC-C), and balance (modified balance error scoring system, mBESS-C; tandem gait). A subset of the sample repeated the Child-SCAT3 at another date. Some subjects also completed the Adult-SCAT3 version of the symptom checklist and mBESS. Results Small to medium-sized effects of age were observed on all Child-SCAT3 components. Effects of gender and receptive vocabulary were observed on select components of the SCAT3. Younger age and lower receptive vocabulary were independently associated with greater symptom endorsement, yet parents rated higher symptom burden for older children. Internal consistency reliability and stability of symptom ratings was good to excellent. Stability was more modest for SAC-C and tandem gait scores and very poor for mBESS-C scores, perhaps due to restricted variance. Interrater reliability (self- versus parent-rated symptoms) was fair. Conclusions The Child-SCAT3 self-report symptom checklist may be inappropriate to administer to younger school-aged children. Some of the age effects observed warrant use of demographically-appropriate norms in Child-SCAT3 interpretation. The findings can provide guidance for clinicians assessing children of varying ages and point to directions for further development of refined approaches for pediatric concussion assessment.

“…The minimum age of the participants was 14 years: some psychopathology measures used were not standardised for younger children. Moreover, by 14 years of age, adolescents should be able to verbalise temporal relations, given that this ability is already present earlier in development (Friedman, 2007;Orbach & Lamb, 2007;Wandry, Quas, Lyon, & Friedman, 2012), which is relevant to scoring of overgeneral memory. All participants were English speaking and did not have conditions such as mental retardation, schizophrenia, or autism.…”

Coping style and memory specificity in adolescents and adults with histories of child sexual abuse

Individuals with histories of childhood trauma may adopt a nonspecific memory retrieval strategy to avoid unpleasant and intrusive memories. In a sample of 93 adolescents and adults with or without histories of child sexual abuse (CSA), we tested the hypothesis that nonspecific memory retrieval is related to an individual's general tendency to use avoidant (i.e., distancing) coping as a personal problem-solving or coping strategy, especially in victims of CSA. We also examined age differences and other individual differences (e.g., trauma-related psychopathology) as predictors of nonspecific memories. Distancing coping was significantly associated with less specific autobiographical memory. Younger age, lower vocabulary scores, and non-CSA childhood maltreatment (i.e., physical and emotional abuse) also uniquely predicted less autobiographical memory specificity, whereas trauma-related psychopathology was associated with more specific memory. Implications for the development of autobiographical memory retrieval in the context of coping with childhood maltreatment are discussed.

“…While not an open-ended prompt, this format is recommended when asking about frequency because children have difficulty estimating a specific number of occurrences (Sharman, Powell, & Roberts, 2011;Wandrey, Lyon, Quas & Friedman, 2012), and reduces the risk that an inaccurate specific number could hurt credibility. Research showing the difficulty children (and adults) have with NICHD PROTOCOL REVIEW 19 source monitoring has influenced the expectations we should have about the number of separate incidents that interviewers can hope children will describe accurately (for further research on children's ability to describe specific occurrences of repeated events, see Powell, Thomson, & Dietze, 1997;, for reviews).…”

This article reviews an evidence-based tool for training child forensic interviewers called the NICHD Protocol, and the relevant research on: children's memory development; communication; suggestibility; the importance of open-prompts, and challenges associated with interview training. We include international contributions from experienced trainers, practitioners, and scientists, who are already using the Protocol or whose national or regional procedures have been directly influenced by the NICHD Protocol research (Canada, Finland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, and United States). Throughout the review, these experts comment on: how and when the Protocol was adopted in their country; who uses it; challenges to implementation and translation; training procedures; and other pertinent aspects.We aim to further promote good interviewing practice by sharing the experiences of these experts. The NICHD Protocol can be easily incorporated into existing training programs worldwide and is available for free. It was originally developed in English and Hebrew and is available in several other languages at nichdprotocol.com. Central to the development of interview guidelines has been knowledge of how memory works, children's developmental capabilities, and the conditions that improve children's ability to discuss their abuse experiences. After many decades of experimental and applied memory research, conducted primarily by psychologists, we have come to understand the strengths, weaknesses, and features of children's memory very well, and this knowledge has shaped many professional recommendations about interviewing children (e.g., American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children [APSAC], 1990[APSAC], , 1997 Home Office, 1992, 2002, Lamb, Orbach, Hershkowitz, Esplin, & Horowitz, 2007; Ministry of Justice, 2011; Poole & Lamb, NICHD PROTOCOL REVIEW 4 1998; Scottish Executive, 2003. Because our knowledge of memory is now so advanced, core recommendations made by professional bodies worldwide share remarkable consensus Lamb, La Rooy, Malloy, & Katz, 2011). Small differences in recommended procedures usually arise out of regional idiosyncratic legal constraints, rather than disagreements between scientists about the basic nature of memory and children's developing abilities. While structured, the NICHD Protocol is flexible enough to allow for such modifications to enhance its applicability for use around the world. We now briefly review the empirical literature on children's memory development that served to guide all aspects of the NICHD Protocol. Important Characteristics of Memory DevelopmentVery young children can remember and report their experiences. It is paradoxical that, as adults, we have very little recollection of our early years of life, whereas young children and infants can and do remember their experiences, at least for a short period of time (e.g., Bauer, Wenner, Dropik, & Wewerka, 2000). Memory for experiences in fact develops long before infants can tell us about the...
