Developmental Patterns of Eyewitness Responses to Repeated and Increasingly Suggestive Questions.
Cassel, William S.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v61 n2 p116-33 Mar 1996
A study simulated aspects of questioning experiences many fact witnesses encounter in a misdemeanor trial, including repeated, increasingly leading questions that suggest correct answers; suggest incorrect answers; or do not suggest any specific answer, but encourage additional information. Results indicated certain strengths in children's eyewitness memory while also demonstrating elevated suggestibility, especially to follow-up questions. (TJQ)
