Children's suggestibility research: Things to know before interviewing a child.

Thus, the importance of conducting forensic interviews that are free from bias and misleading information is immense, as these could lead to false reports. In the current paper, we review unexpected findings in children's suggestibility that illustrate the difficulty in distinguishing between false and accurate reports. We explore situations in which a younger person's memory account may be more accurate than that of an adult, when a single suggestive interview may be as detrimental as multiple interviews, and when children can make inaccurate reports spontaneously. We conclude with recommendations for interviewers to decrease false reporting by both children and adults.enchild abuseforensic interviewmemorysuggestibilityChildren's testimonial accuracyInterviewer biasDemographic factorsPsychosocial factorsCognitive factorsArticle
