Abstract

The present study examined the effect of repeated interviews on the accuracy of facial identifications by young children and how their responses to the identification tests changed from the first interview to the second interview. Participants watched a live picture-story show in kindergarten. They were given facial identification tests for the persons presented in the show approximately one day and then approximately one month after seeing the event. Results showed that few children made correct identifications in both the one-day and one-month delayed tests，and a considerable number of children changed their responses across the two tests. In addition， children were less likely to respond“I don't know”in the second test and gave contradictory responses for the two tests. These results were discussed from the perspective of the development of meta-Cognitive monitoring．
