Discriminating between Memories: Evidence for Children's Spontaneous Elaborations.
Foley, Mary Ann; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v48 n1 p146-69 Aug 1989
Four experiments investigated children's confusion regarding memories of what they said and what they imagined saying. The ability to distinguish imagined from actually uttered words increased with age, while performance in sentence completion tasks decreased. Metamemory suggestions did not affect elaborations. (SAK)
