Metacognition and memory in children

University of Birmingham, Applied Memory Lab, School of Psychology

This 30 minute Zoom study examines how well children can monitor their uncertainty. Children often witness or are victims of crimes, so it's important that we understand how well their memory works for when they testify. The study will look at which which behaviours can tell us more about the accuracy of children’s memory monitoring. Children will watch 2 short videos and answer questions about what the can remember. They will also rate how sure they are that their answers are correct.
