Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v26 n9 p977-95 Sep 2002
A study investigated the consistence of 222 children's (ages 3-16) reports of sexual and physical abuse. Older children were more consistent, children were more consistent when reporting sexual abuse, and girls were more consistent in sexual abuse reports. Consistency in sexual abuse reports was predicted by measures of memory. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
