TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Body maps do not facilitate children's reports of touch JO - Applied cognitive psychology A1 - Willcock, Emma A1 - Morgan, Kirstie A1 - Hayne, Harlene SP - 607 EP - 615 VL - 20 IS - 5 N2 - In two experiments, we assessed children's ability to use body maps to report where they were touched. Five- to 6-year-old children participated in a contrived event and were interviewed either immediately or after a delay. Overall, children's reports were incomplete and inaccurate. We conclude that body maps do not facilitate children's reports of touch and should not be used in clinical or legal interviews with children of this age. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
