In Study 1, children were reinterviewed about an event they had taken part in 2 years earlier when they were 6 years old (M.-E. Pipe & J. C. Wilson, 1994). In Study 2, children were reinterviewed about an event in which they had participated 1 year earlier when they were 6 or 9 years of age (S. Gee & M.-E. Pipe, 1995). Interviews were conducted with or without cue items and distractors, as in the original studies. The amount of information reported in free recall decreased over the 1- or 2-year delays, and for 6-year-olds, there was also a small decrease in accuracy of free recall. Reinstating specific cue items in Study 2 maintained recall when attention was drawn to them, but prompting children led to a decrease in accuracy. Whereas information repeated across interviews was highly accurate, information reported for the first time at the long delays was not.
在研究1中，对孩子们进行了再次访谈，访谈内容是关于他们在两年前6岁时参与的一个事件（M.-E. 派普和J. C. 威尔逊，1994）。在研究2中，对孩子们进行了再次访谈，访谈内容是关于他们在一年前6岁或9岁时参与的一个事件（S. 吉和M.-E. 派普，1995）。与最初的研究一样，访谈在有或没有提示项和干扰项的情况下进行。在1年或2年的延迟期内，自由回忆中报告的信息量有所减少，对于6岁的孩子来说，自由回忆的准确性也有小幅下降。在研究2中，当注意力被吸引到特定提示项时，恢复这些提示项能保持回忆，但提示孩子会导致准确性下降。虽然在多次访谈中重复的信息非常准确，但在长时间延迟后首次报告的信息并非如此。
