The Effect of Interviewer-Provided Support on Children's Source Monitoring

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of emotional and cognitive support on the accuracy of child source monitoring. It designed two experiments to examine the effects of interviewer-provided support (IPS) on child Source Monitoring. Specifically, IPS was examined to determine if it could efficiently increase the accuracy of source monitoring, and if so, whether it is more efficient when used with younger children (Experiment 1). Furthermore, this study examined whether the presence of IPS affects the efficiency of cognitive training (Experiment 2). The results of Experiment 1 revealed that children in two age groups (N=30, ages 3-5 years N=31, ages 7-8 years) had more accurate recall when they were in an IPS group than in a control group. More importantly, children in younger age groups were more influenced by IPS than older children. The results of Experiment 2 revealed that children in two age groups (N=66, ages 3-5 years N=62, ages 7-8 years) benefited from cognitive training, but younger children only benefited when IPS was provided with the cognitive training. These results imply that IPS can improve the accuracy of children's Source Monitoring memory recall; However, source monitoring training only enhances young children's source monitoring accuracy when IPS is provided.
