Why this is important to my research: The Science Daily article is extremely interesting and curious to me seeing as how my ideas started with children to adolescence to early adulthood in age progression.
Findings show; "Because children have fewer meaning-based experience records, they are less likely to form false memories," says Reyna. "But the law assumes children are more susceptible to false memories than adults."
science daily:Children's Memory May Be More Reliable Than Adults' In Court Cases
"They say children depend more heavily on a part of the mind that records, "what actually happened," while adults depend more on another part of the mind that records, "the meaning of what happened." As a result, they say, adults are more susceptible to false memories, which can be extremely problematic in court cases."
