Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the comprehensive approach of previous studies on children's eyewitness testimony. Suggestions were made to help activate further studies on these issues. Cognitive and social-emotional factors, which are the two most widely researched areas, were reviewed regarding children's eyewitness testimony. Based on the trend cognitive variables, such as children's knowledge, ability of language, source monitoring, imagination, fantasy and social-emotional variables, like attachment, temperament, stress and so on were reviewed. Moreover, the experience of the event, type of questions asked, the interviewer's authority or bias might also effect children's eyewitness testimony. Therefore, it is suggested that psychologists should give close attention to the challenges of future researches for more reliable eyewitness testimony in children.
