“…Studies have examined changes in chiidren's pain expression over time. Such studies consistently find that older children show less pain-related behavior (Blount et al, 199 1;Craig et al, 1984;Dahlquist et al, 1995;Dahlquist et al, 1994;Fowler-Kerry & Lander, 1987;Gonzaiez et al, 1989;Jacobsen et al, 1990;Manne, Bakeman, Jacobsen, & Redd, 1993) and more coping (Manne et ai., 1993) (Kopp, 1982), which allows them to better notice their parents' general behavior patterns, and their responses to pain in particular. Their mernories also improve (Kopp, 1982), allowing them to better recall past patterns of interaction surrounding pain.…”
