@article{Henry2003EyewitnessMS, title={Eyewitness Memory, Suggestibility, and Repeated Recall Sessions in Children with Mild and Moderate Intellectual Disabilities}, author={Lucy A. Henry and Gisli Gudjonsson}, journal={Law and Human Behavior}, year={2003}, volume={27}, pages={481-505} }
This study of eyewitness memory questioned children with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities (ID) about a live staged event 1 day later and, again, 2 weeks later. Children with mild ID performed as well as typically-developing children of the same age in response to free recall instructions, and they were just as able as same age peers to resist misleading questions. However, they performed more poorly on general questions, probing for further information after free recall. The children…
