Children's Memory: True and False Recollections, and Social Consequences

This year's Lewis P. and Edna D. Lipsitt Lectures will feature presentations by widely recognized authorities on aspects of children's memory, both during childhood and extended into adulthood. Methodological problems in documenting the veracity of immediate reports of experiences and long-term recollections will be examined. These problems, further explored by two discussants who have researched memory processes, will be related to legal issues and therapeutic interventions.
