  • 1 December 2005
TLDR
It appears that although adults' false memories are generated automatically and do not become part of their conscious experience, children'sfalse memories are produced with greater effort and conscious processing, and as a result are easier to suppress at output.

TLDR
The role of categorical versus associative relations in 5-, 7-, and 11-year-old children's true and false memories was examined and categorized lists of pictures or words with or without category labels as primes revealed a new, developmentally invariant dissociation.

Valence and the development of immediate and long-term false memory illusions
TLDR
Across five experiments, the role of valence in children's and adults’ true and false memories was examined and it was shown that although true recognition decreased over the 1-week interval,false recognition of neutral items remained unchanged whereas false recognition of negative-emotional items increased.
