Declarative Metamemory Predicts Children's Performance to "Do you remember..." Questions

Attorneys often use “Do you remember…” (DYR) questions when questioning children. Such questions are problematic because unelaborated “yes” or “no” responses can be referentially ambiguous. Additionally, attorneys do not always follow up to clarify a child’s unelaborated response. One possible explanation for children’s performance on DYR questions is the development of metamemory. In the current study, 31 children completed a declarative metamemory measure and answered a series of DYR questions about a cartoon video. Children’s metamemory predicted their performance on DYR questions but not forced choice questions. Forensic implications are discussed.
