- Objective: To examine whether a distressing medical procedure leaves lasting impressions in young children’s memories. Methods: Children 12- to 78-weeks old (Nfl172) received inhalation treatment through a face mask or underwent other interventions at a pediatric emergency department. They were randomized to be presented with neutral cues and cues from the inhalation 1 week or 6 months after the target event. Children’s reactions at cue presentation were scored from videotapes. Results: Across the age span tested, children treated with inhalation showed higher distress than controls when presented with cues from inhalation 1 week, but not 6 months after target treatment. Conclusions: Stress during medical procedures in preverbal children may develop as a result of prior experience of such procedures. These memories typically seem to fade within 6 months.

Misreporting signs of child abuse : The role of decision-making and outcome information
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two studies provided evidence that a decision to report an ambiguous case of child abuse affected subsequent memory of the case information, such that participants falsely recognized details that were not presented in the original information, but that are schematically associated with child abuse. Moreover, post-decision information that the child had later died from abuse influenced the memory reports of participants who had chosen not to report the case, increasing their reports of false schema-consistent details. This suggests that false decision-consistent memories are primarily due to sense-making, schematic processing rather than the motivation to justify the decision. The present findings points to an important mechanism by which decision information can become distorted in retrospect, and emphasize the difficulties of improving future decision-making by contemplating past decisions. The results also indicate that decisions may generate false memories in the apparent absence of external suggestion or misleading information. Implications for decision-making theory, and applied practices are discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Presents a systematic review of age-related errors in children's memories for voiding cysto-urethrograms (VCUG). Drawing on results from numerous experimental studies, most of which have been performed during the latest two decades, psychological researchers tend to argue that they are, at least when posed with specific or misleading questions. However, since many of these studies have investigated children's memories for emotionally neutral or even pleasant events, such as baking a cake or playing a game, concerns are sometimes raised that these conclusions may not apply to memories for stressful or even potentially traumatic events. In sum, results from investigations of children's memories for voiding cysto-urethrogram are consistent with the scientific rationale on which these recommendations are based.

Children's autobiographical reports about sexual abuse : A narrative review of the research literature
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0803-9488 .- 1502-4725. ; 63:6, s. 435-442
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: The empirical and theoretical literature on children's autobiographical statements about child sexual abuse and other forms of maltreatment should be of potential importance to all professionals who regularly interview children as part of their professional duties. Aims: To present an introduction to this field. Methods: Narrative review. Results: Preschool children appear to be capable of providing reliable testimony on highly salient personal experiences such as sexual abuse, though a substantial proportion of children may choose not to. However, suggestive interviewing practises, particularly when used with younger children, may elicit false allegations. There is little evidence to suggest that experiences from the preverbal period of life can later be meaningfully reconstructed by means of statements or clinical signs. Conclusions: Use of children as witnesses and informants requires special considerations, knowledge and skills.

Gender biases in decisions on euthanasia among Swedish jurors
- 2003

Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0803-9488 .- 1502-4725. ; 57:6, s. 469-471

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study set out to investigate whether group- based biases may influence decisions regarding euthanasia in Swedish jurors ( namndeman). Thirty- eight Swedish jurors were presented with a case description of euthanasia in a severely brain- damaged patient. Age and gender of the patient were systematically varied. The jurors were asked to what extent they believed that euthanasia was ethical in the case presented to them and whether they thought that it should be legal. Jurors tended to be supportive of euthanasia and were more so when it was used on patients who belonged to the opposite gender. These results suggest that group- based biases may influence decisions regarding euthanasia in Swedish jurors. The finding has implication for the Swedish debate regarding a possible legalization of such procedures.
