Tele-forensic interviewing can be a reasonable alternative to face-to-face interviewing of child witnesses
Open AccessJason J Dickinson, Nicole E Lytle et al.ARTICLELaw and Human Behavior2021
OBJECTIVE: Tele-forensic interviews have the potential to aid investigations when children live far from interviewers, there is a risk of disease transmission, or when expertise is not locally available. However, it is unknown whether tele-forensic interviewing is an effective alternative to face-to-face interviewing, particularly for children most prone to suggestibility and lapses of attention. HYPOTHESES: Previous studies suggested that school…
Child eyewitness researchers often bin age
Open AccessSierra Bainter, Tristan D Tibbe et al.ARTICLELaw and Human Behavior2020
OBJECTIVE: Effective practices for eliciting and analyzing children's eyewitness reports rely on accurate conclusions about age differences in how children retain information and respond to memory probes. Binning, which is the practice of categorizing continuous variables into discrete groups, can lower studies' power to detect age differences and, in some situations, produce significant but spurious effects. In this article, we (a) describe a sy…

Young Children's Responses to Yes-No Questions
Michael S Brady, Debra Ann Poole et al.ARTICLEApplied Developmental Science1999
Concern about the accuracy of children's responses to "yes-no" questions has created controversy regarding the appropriateness of these questions for forensic interviews. To evaluate response patterns, 56 children (3-7 years old) were twice asked a set of yes-no questions, either in standard or in a modified, forced-choice format, about a videotaped event. Younger children were less accurate and consistent than were older children. Unlike the old…

The Two Bell Curves
Open AccessDebra Ann PooleARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist1995References: 1
Critiques of The Bell Curve, compared to subsequent rebuttals by Murray, suggest that two books are being discussed: the one that Herrnstein and Murray claim to have written and the one that most readers believe we have read. Extensive debate about what is actually printed in The Bell Curve can be traced to the authors' use of a disclaimer/ignore disclaimer strategy. Unfortunately, illogical juxtapositions of disclaimers and conclusions often dem…
Two years later
Debra Ann Poole, Lawrence T WhiteARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1993Cited by: 14References: 3
This study examined witnesses' memories for an event experienced 2 years earlier. Ss in 4 age groups (6-, 8- and 10-year-olds and adults; N= 79) answered repeated questions about an ambiguous incident that occurred as part of an earlier study (D. A. Poole & L. T. White, 1991). Surprisingly, the effects of question repetition were similar to the patterns observed 2 years ago. There were important differences in the testimonies of children and adul…
Effects of question repetition on the eyewitness testimony of children and adults
Debra Ann Poole, Lawrence T WhiteARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1991Cited by: 23References: 2
This study examined witnesses' answers to repeated questions about a novel event, both within and across interviews. Ss in 4 age groups (4-, 6-, and 8-year-olds and adults; N=133) individually witnessed an ambiguous incident. Some Ss were interviewed immediately and 1 week later; others were interviewed only once, 1 week later
