Some of the research on children's eyewitness testimony has important implications for the courtroom. According to that research
 
  a. children are more accurate if interviewers ask the questions in a very emotional tone.
  b. as children grow older, they are increasingly likely to change their mind during a cross-examination.
  c. children are more likely than adults to say I don't know if they are unsure about the accuracy of their memory.
  d. young children have fairly accurate memory, under ideal circumstances.

Question 2

In Chapter 13, the Individual Differences Feature compared children who have intellectual disabilities and children in a mainstream school. Everyone watched a brief video and then answered questions.
 
  The results showed that the typically developing children
   a. did not differ from the children with intellectual disabilities on any measure.
   b. recalled the same number of items correctly, but they were less likely to recall the misleading information.
   c. recalled the same number of items correctly, but they were more likely to recall the misleading information.
   d. recalled a greater number of items correctly, and they were less likely to recall the misleading information.

Question 3

As Chapter 13 discussed, researchers admit that we do not yet have a complete explanation for the fact thaton some long-term taskselderly adults remember less than young adults.
 
  However, which of the following students provides the best summary of one factor that accounts for age-related differences?
   a. Sergei: Elderly adults remember contextual cues better than young adults, and these cues tend to disrupt performance on explicit recall tasks.
   b. Isabelle: Elderly adults typically fail to use long-term memory strategies based on organization and imagery; as a result, information often cannot be retained in long-term memory.
   c. Mandy: Elderly adults are more likely than young adults to have difficulty paying attention, which can affect performance on memory tasks.
   d. Christopher: Elderly adults are much too confident about their memory skills, so they actually spend less time rehearsing the material.
