The current study addressed how the timing of interviews affected children's memories of unique and repeated events. Five- to six-year-olds (N=125) participated in activities 1 or 4 times and were misinformed either 3 or 21 days after the only or last event. Although single-experience children were subsequently less accurate in the 21- versus 3-day condition, the timing of the misinformation session did not affect memories of repeated-experience children regarding invariant details. Children were more suggestible in the 21- versus 3-day condition for variable details when the test occurred soon after misinformation presentation. Thus, timing differentially affected memories of single and repeated events and depended on the combination of event-misinformation and misinformation-test delays rather than the overall retention interval.
当前的研究探讨了访谈时间如何影响儿童对独特事件和重复事件的记忆。5至6岁的儿童（N = 125）参与了1次或4次活动，并且在唯一一次或最后一次活动后的3天或21天被误导。尽管单次经历的儿童在21天与3天的情况下随后记忆的准确性较低，但错误信息呈现的时间并未影响重复经历儿童对不变细节的记忆。当在错误信息呈现后不久进行测试时，在21天与3天的情况下，儿童对于可变细节更容易受到暗示。因此，时间对单次和重复事件的记忆有不同的影响，并且取决于事件-错误信息和错误信息-测试延迟的组合，而不是总体保留间隔。
