Abstract

This study investigated whether the content of children’s drawings of an event changes over three successive interviews about that event. It also assessed whether children recall more details verbally than they draw. Twenty-seven 3- to 6-year old children witnessed a live event which ended with one actor stealing a cuddly toy. They were interviewed about it 1 day, 2 weeks, and 6 months later. At each interview, children were asked to make a drawing of the event while narrating what happened. We analyzed the content of the drawings for seven features relevant to the event as well as inaccurate information. Children’s inclusion of “the perpetrator” and “the victim” decreased over time but the other features remained stable. Children verbally reported significantly more details than they drew. Our findings suggest that children provide less information in drawings than in verbal reports, but this information may be more reliable and stable compared to verbal reports over multiple interviews.
绘画与记忆:儿童绘画的内容是什么?与口头报告有何不同?
本研究调查了儿童对某一事件的绘画内容是否会在三次关于该事件的连续访谈中发生变化。该研究还评估了孩子们口头上回忆的细节是否比画出来的更多。27名3到6岁的孩子目睹了这一现场活动,最后一名演员偷走了一个可爱的玩具。他们分别在1天、2周和6个月后接受了采访。在每次采访中,孩子们被要求在叙述所发生的事情的同时画出事件的图画。我们分析了图纸内容中与事件相关的七个特征以及不准确的信息。随着时间的推移,儿童对“加害者”和“受害者”的包容程度有所下降,但其他特征保持稳定。孩子们口头报告的细节明显多于他们画出来的。我们的研究结果表明,儿童在绘画中提供的信息比口头报告少,但与多次访谈的口头报告相比,这些信息可能更可靠和稳定。
