在两项研究中，3至7岁的儿童被要求回忆在以前的阶段性事件中发生的一系列触摸。在研究I中，回忆访谈在事件发生后一周进行，在研究2中，回忆访谈在事件发生后立即进行。每个回忆访谈有两个部分：在第一部分，孩子们被给予人物画（HFD），并被要求显示触摸发生的地方;在另一部分，同样的问题被问到没有HFD（口头条件）。儿童被随机分配到2种不同的条件：HFD第一/口头第二或口头第一/HFD第二。有2个主要发现。首先，当被用来探测孩子已经被问到的信息时，HFD比口头条件引起更多的错误。第二，无论访谈方法，儿童有穷人的回忆触摸，即使这些前几分钟的访谈。这表明，涉及记忆和语义的认知机制是儿童在口头和HFD条件下回忆触摸的基础。
In 2 studies, children ages 3 to 7 years were asked to recall a series of touches that occurred during a previous staged event. The recall interview took place I week after the event in Study I and immediately after the event in Study 2. Each recall interview had 2 sections: In I section, children were given human figure drawings (HFDs) and were asked to show where the touching took place; in the other section, the same questions were asked without the HFDs (verbal condition). Children were randomly assigned to 2 different conditions: HFD 1st/verbal 2nd or verbal 1st/HFD 2nd. There were 2 major findings. First, HFDs elicited more errors than the verbal condition when used to probe for information that the child had already been asked. Second, regardless of interview method, children had poor recall of the touches even when these Occurred Minutes before the interview. It is suggested that cognitive mechanisms involving memory and semantics underlie children's poor recall of touching in both verbal and HFD conditions.
