Children's Memory for Medical Emergencies: 2 Years Later.
Peterson, Carole
Developmental Psychology, v35 n6 p1493-1506 Nov 1999
Assessed children's recall of injury and hospital treatment 2 years after injury. Found that children recalled injury details better than treatment. Amount recalled decreased only for hospital treatment details; accuracy decreased for both injury and treatment. An extra interview 1 year after injury helped only younger children recall hospital event and helped all children maintain accuracy of hospital details. (Author/KB)
