TLDR
Children between 2 and 13 years who suffered traumatic injury necessitating hospital emergency room treatment were recruited as subjects and interviewed a few days and 6 months later, using free and probed recall, about both injury and hospital treatment.Abstract:
Children between 2 and 13 years who suffered traumatic injury necessitating hospital emergency room treatment were recruited as subjects. They (and adult witnesses) were interviewed a few days and 6 months later, using free and probed recall, about both injury and hospital treatment. Children at all ages were able to provide considerable information about both stressful events, although the amount of detail increased with age. They also made few commission errors. Surprisingly, children's distress at time of injury did not affect the amount or accuracy of their recall of that event, whereas distress during hospital treatment did decrease recall. A tripartite classification into 3 categories of detail was used: central, peripheral--inside the emotional events, or peripheral--outside those events. Children's recall differed depending upon detail category. Implications for children's testimony are discussed.read more

Remembering emotional events: the fate of detailed information
TL;DR: This paper showed that people remember details from emotional events differently than details from neutral events, and that emotional events led to different performance than non-emotional events. But, their results were limited to five experiments, and they did not consider the effect of unusual events.

TL;DR: Significant age differences in free recall and doll demonstration, found only in the nongenital condition, implicated socioemotional factors as suppressing the reports of older children who experienced genital contact.
