Child witnesses frequently testify about events that occurred months or even years earlier. Across four sessions, we investigated memory for an experienced event among children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children first participated in a staged event. A week later, children were given true reminders and false suggestions about the event. Several days later, children were interviewed about the event. Children were interviewed about the event again following a 10-month delay. We found children without ASD provided more utterances during free recall and performed better on the true yes/no questions than children with ASD following a 10-month delay.
