人们通常发现，错误记忆在儿童早期比在儿童后期或成年时更常见。然而，模糊踪迹理论做出了与直觉相反的预测，即一些强大的成人错误记忆形式在儿童早期将大大减弱，一个重要的例子是Deese/Roediger/McDermott(DRM)错觉。对这种错觉的三项发展研究(N=282)发现：(1)幼儿的错觉水平接近最低水平，(2)青春期早期仍低于成人水平，(3)幼儿错觉水平低可能是由于未能“领会”DRM材料的要点。
False memories have typically been found to be more common during early childhood than during later childhood or adulthood. However, fuzzy-trace theory makes the counterintuitive prediction that some powerful forms of adult false memory will be greatly attenuated in early childhood, an important example being the Deese/Roediger/McDermott (DRM) illusion. Three developmental studies of this illusion (N = 282) found that (1) it was at near-floor levels in young children, (2) it was still below adult levels by early adolescence, and (3) the low levels of the illusion in young children may be due to failure to "get the gist" of DRM materials.
