Children (13-18 months, 20-25 months, and 26-34 months) who had experienced trauma injuries were recruited in a hospital Emergency Room and subsequently interviewed about them within days (if verbal) and after 6, 12, and 18 or 24 months. The youngest children demonstrated little long-term verbal recall, whereas a few children in the intermediate group, who could not narrate about past events at time of injury, could verbally recall the target events 18 months later. Most of the oldest children, who had narrative skills at time of injury, demonstrated good verbal recall 2 years later. Illustrative case histories were described. Accuracy of recall was low for the youngest children, and although the majority of older children's recalled information was accurate, there were still many errors.
在一家医院急诊室招募了曾遭受创伤性损伤的儿童（13 - 18个月、20 - 25个月和26 - 34个月），随后在数天内（如果儿童会说话）以及6个月、12个月、18个月或24个月后对他们进行访谈。最小的儿童几乎没有长期的言语回忆能力，而中间组的一些儿童在受伤时无法讲述过去的事件，但在18个月后能够口头回忆起目标事件。大多数年龄最大的儿童在受伤时有叙述能力，在2年后表现出良好的言语回忆能力。文中描述了一些具有代表性的病例史。最小儿童的回忆准确性较低，虽然大多数年龄较大儿童回忆的信息是准确的，但仍有许多错误。
