Children sometimes receive misinformation after being formally interviewed about their experiences in cases of suspected abuse. Following decades of research, many guidelines have been produced for interviewers so they can obtain reliable statements in children, like, for example, the NICHD protocol. One might expect that completing an early interview following research‐based guidelines might guard against the incorporation of misinformation encountered later. The goal of the current experiments was to examine whether following research‐based guidelines such as the NICHD protocol might protect child witnesses against follow‐up ‘misinformation’ or make them more vulnerable to misinformation. This increased vulnerability to misinformation has been referred to as retrieval‐enhanced suggestibility.

立即面试可在短期内提高儿童的暗示性，但从长远来看却不会

在对儿童进行涉嫌虐待的情况进行正式访谈后，有时他们会收到错误信息。经过数十年的研究，已经为面试官制定了许多指南，以便他们可以在儿童中获得可靠的陈述，例如NICHD协议。有人可能希望遵循基于研究的指导原则完成早期面试，可能会避免合并以后遇到的错误信息。当前实验的目的是检查遵循基于研究的指导原则（例如NICHD协议）是否可以保护儿童证人免遭后续“错误信息”的侵害，或者使他们更容易受到错误信息的伤害。这种对错误信息的增加的脆弱性被称为增强检索的可暗示性。
