“…The ability to recover information learned even immediately is significantly lower in children with MID and BIF, who may resort to processes of invention and confabulation to cover memory gaps. These results seem to be in agreement with other studies that have highlighted deficits in executive functions, attention, and working memory in these children (Carrasco et al 2005;Henry 2001;Alloway 2010;Lee and Kim 2022).…”

“…Therefore, it appears important to try to clarify this relationship also with regard to the RBR model. Gudjonsson (2018) highlighted that borderline intelligence was linked to higher suggestibility levels, and this could be due to children's difficulties in executive functions and source monitoring (Lee and Kim 2022;Lee and Shin 2023). In adults with intellectual disabilities, Gudjonsson and Young (2021) found that their low capacity in the social cognitive mechanism associated with low confidence and trust in one's memory limited more resistant responses such as "Direct Explanation" and "I don't know".…”

Children with intellectual disabilities can be victims of crimes but are generally deemed less reliable in the forensic context than children without disabilities. Their deficits may cause inaccurate recall, greater memory errors, and greater suggestive vulnerability. The aim of the present study is to verify the effects of intellectual abilities on recall tasks, levels of suggestibility, vulnerability to negative social pressure, and Resistant Behavioural Responses (RBR). The study involved 120 children aged 7–16 years who were administered the GSS2 (1997) and Raven Matrices. Forty children had a diagnosis of mild intellectual disability (MID), 40 had borderline intellectual functioning (BIF), and 40 were typically developing peers. Children with MID and BIF showed more errors in distortions, inventions, and confabulations at the recall task and higher levels of suggestibility.Low IQs reduced the ability of source monitoring and led to less resistant responses to misleading questions. IQ affected resistant responses both at the first and second suggestive interview, reducing both source monitoring capabilities and the ability to manage social pressure. Age may impact the ability to provide resistant responses but only in the first suggestive interview (Yield 1), which depends more on the maturity of cognitive processes involved in interrogative suggestibility.
