Props and children's event reports: the impact of a 1-year delay

Article Abstract:

A delay of one year between the time of actual interview and the occurrence of an event affects younger children differently from older ones. Older children can recall events more accurately than younger ones even after a year has lapsed. Younger children tend to be less accurate in their accounts of events after a year has passed. Thus, the recollection of both groups are influenced by their ages, the length of delay between the event and the interview, the nature of prop items and the mode of recall.
