Statement Validity Assessment (SVA) is a comprehensive credibility assessment system, with the Criterion-Based Content Analysis (CBCA) as a core component. Worldwide, the CBCA is reported to be the most widely used veracity assessment instrument. We tested and confirmed the hypothesis that CBCA scores are affected by event familiarity; descriptions of familiar events are more likely to be judged true than are descriptions of unfamiliar events. CBCA scores were applied to transcripts of 114 children who recalled a routine medical procedure (control) or a traumatic medical procedure that they had experienced one time (relatively unfamiliar) or multiple times (relatively familiar). CBCA scores were higher for children in the relatively familiar than the relatively unfamiliar condition, and CBCA scores were significantly correlated with age. Results raise serious questions regarding the forensic suitability of the CBCA for assessing the veracity of children's accounts.
陈述有效性评估（SVA）是一个全面的可信度评估系统，以基于标准的内容分析（CBCA）为核心组成部分。据报道，在全球范围内，CBCA是使用最广泛的真实性评估工具。我们测试并证实了这样一个假设，即CBCA得分受事件熟悉程度的影响；与不熟悉事件的描述相比，熟悉事件的描述更有可能被判定为真实。CBCA得分应用于114名儿童的记录，这些儿童回忆了一次常规医疗程序（对照组）或他们经历过一次（相对不熟悉）或多次（相对熟悉）的创伤性医疗程序。相对熟悉组儿童的CBCA得分高于相对不熟悉组，且CBCA得分与年龄显著相关。结果引发了关于CBCA在评估儿童陈述真实性方面法医适用性的严重问题。
