Source Monitoring and False Memories in Children: Relation to Certainty and Executive Functioning.
Ruffman, Ted; Rustin, Charlotte; Garnham, Wendy; Parkin, Alan J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v80 n2 p95-111 Oct 2001
Examined source monitoring and false memories in 6-, 8-, and 10-year-olds related to their memory of information presented by videotape and/or audiotape. Found that certainty rating revealed deficits in children's understanding of when they had erred on source questions and when they had made false alarms. Inhibitory ability accounted for unique variance in ability to avoid false alarms. (Author/KB)
