About the Child Narratives Lab:
  • Research in the Child Narratives Lab focuses on how social context and individual differences influence children's reports about past events. More specifically, we address questions about how the conditions under which children experience events and the conditions in which they are asked to remember those events influence how and what they recall. We are also interested in studying how individual differences in cognitive and narrative skills contribute to children's abilities to report about past events.
  • Many of the research questions we address in the lab apply directly to the real world. For example: how do attorney questions and child witness responses influence jury decisions? How do child interviewers elicit credible, accurate reports from children? How can parents help children develop their narrative skills? How should adults talk with young children about negative past experiences and how can we facilitate their recovery from those experiences?
  • Our website, containing a list of our ongoing studies as well as our past research, can be found here.
