Implantation of false memories in children through a suggestive interview AbstractThe aim of this investigation was to determine by comparing groups, the implantation of false memories in children 3,4 and 5 years, from two types of interviews, one with suggestive questions and the other with no suggestive questions. The design was three groups with posttest (quasi-experimental). We designed two types of interviews (with and without suggestive questions, respectively), submitted to content validation by expert judges. Participants were 36 children, divided into three age groups (3, 4 and 5), each group was divided for the application of the two types of interviews. The procedure was carried out in eight steps, among which are the design of the instrument, contact to the guardians of participants, activity development and implementation of the interviews. The results were obtained by a comparative analysis between groups using the parametric test ANOVA of two factors. There were significant differences between the groups according to age and type of interview applied. The results indicated that three years old children old had an increased suggestion in each of the items in the suggestive interview, instead five years old children tended to respond correctly without allowing be suggested by the interviewer.
