Reminiscence and hypermnesia in children's eyewitness memory

Article Abstract:

Three experiments that examined reminiscence and hypermnesia in 5- and 6-year-olds' memory for an event across repeated interviews that occurred either immediately afterward or after a 6-month delay are illustrated. Reminiscence, that is, recall of new information, was obtained in all experiments, although the number of items recalled were fewer after a delay, and hypermnesia, that is, increasing total recall over repeated recall attempts, was obtained only when interviews occurred immediately and 24 h after the event.

Providing props to facilitate children's event reports: a comparison of toys and real items

Article Abstract:

Children, when exposed to experiments with real or toy images of an object, re-demonstrate the same experiments with a remarkable degree of precision. Three and five-year-old children were asked to participate in a medical examination of a teddy bear and of a live individual in and oral demonstration of the examination under simulated conditions. Three days later when the children were interviewed about the experiment, the ones who had practised with real and toy appendages show more accuracy in recall.
