Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

Children were asked if they remember every getting their finger caught in a mousetrap. The percentage of false reports (i.e., recalling something about the event) were recorded. Although few children admitted to experiencing these false event in the initial interviews, by the conclusion of the study more than 50% of the 3- and 4-year-old children and about 40% of 5- to 6-year-olds assented that these events did, indeed, happen-and often provided substantial detail about the events. Moreover, many children continued to believe that these events actually happened even after being told by the interviewers and their parents that the events were just made up.

Younger children are often more susceptible to the effects of misinformation and suggestion than older children are because:
