这篇论文考察了一组关于儿童记忆的普遍假设。与成年人相比，儿童被认为注意得更少，忽略得更多，忘记得更快，更容易受到暗示的影响，尤其是在记忆中把想象和感知混合在一起。从记忆和记忆发展的理论模型的角度来看，这些命题很有趣。它们对法律实践也有重要的影响。虽然儿童的记忆倾向比成人少，但令人惊讶的是，几乎没有证据表明儿童的其他记忆缺陷。这篇论文描述了一项新的研究，针对儿童在区分记忆中的真实事件和想象事件方面是否比成人差的问题（现实监测）。结果表明，孩子们可能在某些情况下（但不是全部）难以监控现实。
This paper examines a set of common assumptions about children's memory. Children compared to adults are thought to notice less, omit more, forget faster, be more susceptible to suggestion, and especially to intermingle imagination and perception in remembering. These propositions are interesting from the point of view of theoretical models of memory and memory development. They also have important implications for legal practice. While children's tendency to recall less than adults is well documented, there is surprisingly little evidence for other deficits in children's memory. This paper describes a new line of research, directed at the question of whether children are worse than adults in discriminating real from imagined events in memory (reality monitoring). The results suggest that children may have difficulty with some, but not all, reality-monitoring situations.
