N2  - This study examined the effectiveness of drawing and re-enactment as means of facilitating children's verbal reports about emotionally laden events. Sixty children, aged 5 and 8 years, were interviewed about times when they had felt happy, sad and scared in one of three interview conditions; drawing, in which they were asked to draw and tell, re-enactment, in which they were asked to re-enact and tell, or verbal, in which they were simply asked to tell. For children of both age groups, drawing and re-enactment enhanced the amount of information reported relative to a verbal interview. Further, drawing and re-enactment elicited a greater number of items of descriptive information than did the verbal interview. The possible mechanisms underlying these findings and their implications for interviewing children in clinical contexts are discussed.
