Peer reviewedLoftus, Elizabeth F.; Davies, Graham M. – Journal of Social Issues, 1984
Reviews research on children's ability to remember events in relation to that of adults. Concludes that age interacts with other factors, including language and the relative development of knowledge structures, to determine suggestibility. Suggests that children's memories may at times be less easily influenced than adults' memories. (KH)
