Recounting the same events again and again: children's consistency across multiple interviews

Enhancing children's event recall after long delays

“…However, the accuracy of the new information is relatively high compared to several previous studies finding that new information across repeated interviews is likely to be highly inaccurate (e.g. Peterson, Moores, & White, 2001;Pipe, Gee, Wilson, & Egerton, 1999;Salmon & Pipe, 1997Steward et al, 1996). Typically, in these studies only 50% or less of the additional items of information recalled were accurate.…”

“…In particular, age (e.g. Gobbo et al ., 2002; all of Peterson and colleagues' studies (Peterson, 1996, 1999, 2010; Peterson et al ., 2001, 2005; Peterson and Bell, 1996; Peterson and Whalen, 2001)), the initial retention interval (i.e. time between the TBR event and the first interview) (Gross and Hayne, 1999; Pipe et al ., 2004; Powell and Thomson, 1997; Salmon and Pipe, 2000), the number of interviews that the child experienced, particularly whether experiencing an intervening interview between two interviews affected memory in the last interview (e.g.…”

Exploring Parent–Child Discussions of Crime and their Influence on Children's Memory

“…Children would be consistent in the amount and accuracy of recall across interviews (Peterson, Moores, & White, 2001) and would not include parentsuggested information in delayed recall for an interviewer, as prior research suggests that they reject such information when recall was immediate (Jackson & Crockenberg, 1998).…”
