Summary
Child witnesses and victims who provide evidence in the justice system have often experienced repeated, similar events. In some jurisdictions, these children will be asked to recount a single instance from the series. In this chapter, we review the extant research on children’s ability to recall an instance of a repeated event. We discuss the legal context, theoretical approaches, experimental paradigms, and typical response profiles of children recalling an instance of a repeated event. We conclude with a discussion of the implications for child victims and witnesses, as well as a call for much needed further experimental exploration.
