abstract="We examined effects of participation and forensic context on 4-year-old children's testimony. Children in &quot;participant&quot; and &quot;police&quot; conditions actively participated in games with a &quot;babysitter&quot;; each child in the &quot;observer&quot; condition watched a videotape of a child and the babysitter playing. Eleven days later, children were individually questioned about the event. Before the interview began, children in the police condition talked to a police officer who said the babysitter might have done something bad. Comparison of participant- and observer-condition performance indicated that participation increased free-recall accuracy concerning actions that took place and lowered suggestibility. Comparison of participant- and police-condition performance indicated that forensic context led to increased error in free recall and additional comments to misleading questions. However, forensic context also resulted in higher accuracy on an age-identification task and did not affect children's accuracy in answering abuse-related questions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
