“…Although findings have been mixed, some research with non-maltreated youth has shown that trauma narratives differ from those about non-traumatic experiences (O'Kearney & Perrott, 2006;Salmon & O'Kearney, 2014). Salmond et al (2011) compared the trauma and non-trauma narratives of youth who had experienced an accident or assault within the past month and also with those of youth with no trauma symptoms.…”

“…So far as we are aware, no research investigating trauma narratives in maltreated children has included a comparator non-trauma narrative. Moreover, it is likely that the picture is complex, with factors such as the nature of the trauma and the time since trauma exposure also exerting influence (Salmon & O'Kearney, 2014).…”

“…These often-implicit permissions or prohibitions therefore have considerable but varied implications for children's ability to learn narrative skills in general, to recount a specific experience, and for their understanding and management of their emotional responses. Early problems in this important domain may, in interaction with other risk factors, lead to negative cascades across development, in which impoverished parent-child conversations and poor memory for emotional experiences (less detailed, coherent, and less emotionally skilled) at an earlier life period increase the risk of poorer memory-and poorer psychological wellbeing-at the next (Salmon & O'Kearney, 2014).…”

We review research investigating the influence of conversations between parents and their children about past negative experiences on children's memory and management of their emotional experiences. To do so, we are guided by social cultural developmental theory and a developmental psychopathology framework. In the first section, we first discuss the 'best case' scenario, in which parents and child have a close relationship within which the child's negative emotions can be discussed and understood, and the child's ability to remember her experiences in a detailed and coherent narrative form is optimised. In the second section, we turn to the most problematic scenario of child maltreatment, including child sexual abuse, and consider the implications for children's memory when these optimizing factors are not present or are limited. Finally, we discuss exemplar intermediary scenarios. We propose that early problems acquiring critical skills for remembering emotional experiences in the context of parent-child relationships can have negative consequences for children's memory but also for their psychological functioning more broadly, which can extend across development.

“…Disruptions in autobiographical memory, our memory for our personal past, play a key role in the development and maintenance of psychopathology (e.g., Dalgleish & Werner-Seidler, 2014; Salmon & O'Kearney, 2014). One such disruption is overgeneral memory (OGM), which is the tendency to recall general memories when asked to retrieve a specific autobiographical episode (Williams et al, 2007).…”

What predicts overgeneral memory in youth? Testing the CaR-FA-X model longitudinally in community adolescents

Overgeneral autobiographical memory, the tendency to report general memories when asked to report specific event recollections, has been implicated in the development and maintenance of psychopathology. The dominant model of overgeneral memory, the CaR-FA-X model (Williams et al., 2007), proposes that three cognitive processes (increased rumination and avoidance, and reduced executive control) either independently, or in interaction, interfere with successful memory retrieval. Although psychopathology increases significantly during adolescence, no research has tested this model in its entirety, including interaction effects, longitudinally in community youth. We tested the model with 323 adolescents (152 females, 171 males) across four annual assessment points. Increased avoidance predicted higher proportions of overgeneral memories from Time 3 to Time 4, but this association was stronger for youth with elevated depressive symptoms across the four waves, and limited to memories generated in response to negative cue words. This finding may indicate that youth with stable higher levels of depression remember in an overgeneral way to avoid re-elicitation of negative event-related emotions. In youth with lower depression levels across time, the CaR-FA-X mechanisms did not predict overgeneral memory.

“…It is often the case that some witnesses to critical incidents will experience a degree of trauma. It is important to understand that people who are exposed to the same traumatic event will not necessarily experience trauma in the same way because reactions to traumatic events vary as a result of individual differences in vulnerability and resilience (Salmon and O'Kearney, 2014). Such differences can also be influenced by culture (e.g.…”

High-profile critical incidents involving multiple witnesses, particularly terrorist attacks, have increased over the years. This paper sets out to describe the components of a witness interview strategy for this type of investigation. Central to these cases is a need for a triage system which deals with a large number of witness/victim interviews that must be conducted fast time. Approach This paper was developed based on the experience of the authors who provide practical advice and support to these types of investigations and a dialogue with police interview advisers involved in developing this type of strategy. Findings A witness interview strategy for critical incidents involving multiple witnesses should be set within a framework that covers initial contact with the witnesses, the interview process and post-interview processes. Practical Implications It is important that a witness interview strategy is developed for any critical incident involving multiple witnesses to ensure that what could otherwise be a chaotic process is effectively managed. Such a strategy should be set within a framework that covers initial contact with the witnesses, the interview process and post-interview processes. Originality value No other papers have been published that consider the development of witness interviewstrategies for multiple-witnesses in critical incidents.
