CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, police begin a forensic interview by asking witnesses, including children, to freely recall everything they remember about the event. During this stage of the interview, even young children can be just as accurate as adults, but they often miss many details.

Detailed explanation-2: -Around four out of every 10 of us have fabricated our first memory, according to researchers. This is thought to be because our brains do not develop the ability to store autobiographical memories at least until we reach two years old. Yet a surprising number of us have some flicker of memory from before that age.

Detailed explanation-3: -Research has long established that as adults we cannot accurately retrieve memories from our infancy and early childhood. Baby brains simply are not yet physiologically capable of forming and storing long-term memories (Murray, 2003).

Detailed explanation-4: -These memories are often traumatic, such as childhood sexual abuse. These memories may directly relate to a person’s behavior today. They may inform their identify and relationships. This is called false memory syndrome, or the creation of a reality around a memory that isn’t true.
