    • There is a discrepancy in the literature regarding the effect of repeated experience on children's suggestibility. Some researchers have concluded that repeated experience increases children's suggestibility for variable details whereas others have reported no detrimental effect. This study demonstrated that the type of question used to test memory (cued-recall versus yes/no questions) could account for the different reported conclusions. Children aged 5-6 years took part in an event either… CONTINUE READING
