Controlled investigations into the reliability of children’s eyewitness testimony suggest that:
children appear to be particularly poor at memory for faces.
children are more likely to omit certain details than they are to introduce false information.
young children are less likely to incorporate the implications of leading questions into subsequent testimony than are adults.
the younger the child (up to age 3), the more accurate the recall is likely to be.
