  • Title: Reminiscence and hypermnesia in children's eyewitness memory.
    Author: La Rooy D, Pipe ME, Murray JE.
    Journal: J Exp Child Psychol; 2005 Mar; 90(3):235-54. PubMed ID: 15707861.
    Abstract:
    Three experiments examined reminiscence and hypermnesia in 5- and 6-year-olds' memory for an event across repeated interviews that occurred either immediately afterward (Experiment 1) or after a 6-month delay (Experiments 2 and 3). Reminiscence (recall of new information) was reliably obtained in all of the experiments, although the numbers of new items recalled were fewer after a delay than when the interviews occurred immediately afterward. Hypermnesia (increasing total recall over repeated recall attempts) was obtained only in Experiment 1 when interviews occurred immediately and 24 h after the event.
