儿童的证词往往是指控虐待的唯一证据。因此，在没有偏见和误导性信息的情况下进行法证面谈非常重要，因为这可能导致虚假报告。在目前的论文中，我们回顾了儿童可识别性的意外发现，这些发现说明了区分错误和准确报告的困难。我们探讨的情况下，一个年轻人的记忆帐户可能比成年人更准确，当一个单一的暗示性采访可能是有害的多个采访，当孩子们可以自发地作出不准确的报告。最后，我们建议采访者减少儿童和成人的虚假报道。(C)2015年由Elsevier Espana，SLU发布代表马德里心理学官方学院。
Children's testimony is often the only evidence of alleged abuse. Thus, the importance of conducting forensic interviews that are free from bias and misleading information is immense, as these could lead to false reports. In the current paper, we review unexpected findings in children's suggestibility that illustrate the difficulty in distinguishing between false and accurate reports. We explore situations in which a younger person's memory account may be more accurate than that of an adult, when a single suggestive interview may be as detrimental as multiple interviews, and when children can make inaccurate reports spontaneously. We conclude with recommendations for interviewers to decrease false reporting by both children and adults.
