This Element addresses the factors that influence children's
accuracy in reporting on events and draws implications for
children's ability to serve as reliable eyewitnesses. The following
topics are covered: short- and long-term memory for event details;
memory for stressful events; memory for the temporal order of
events; memory for the spatial location of events; the ways poorly
worded questions or intervening events interfere with memory; and
individual differences in language development, understanding right
from wrong and emotions, and cognitive processes. In addition, this
Element considers how potential jurors perceive children as
eyewitnesses and how the findings of the research on children's
event memory inform best practices for interviewing children.
