The Effects of Repeated Experience on Children's Suggestibility.
Powell, Martine B.; Roberts, Kim P.; Ceci, Stephen J.; Hembrooke, Helene
Developmental Psychology, v35 n6 p1462-77 Nov 1999
Examined effect of suggestive questions on 3- to 5-year-olds' and 6- to 8-year-olds' recall of the final occurrence of repeated event. Found that relative to reports of children experiencing single occurrence, reports about fixed items of repeated events were less contaminated by false suggestions. Children's age and delay of interview were related to suggestibility. (Author/KB)
