Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Two main concerns are that preschool children are suggestibility and easily confused due to limited source-monitoring skills. The following are ways to improve the accuracy of the child's recollection: (1) Interview children as soon as possible after the event in question. (2) Encourage children to tell the truth, to feel free to say I don't know to questions, and to correct interviewers when they say something that's incorrect. (3) Start by asking children to describe the events in their own words, follow up with open-ended questions, and minimize the use of specific questions. (4) Allow children to understand and feel comfortable in the interview format by beginning with a neutral event before moving to the event of interest. (5) Ask questions that consider other explanations of the event.
