Concept information

Preferred term

evaluation of children's testimony by juries  

Definition(s)

  • When children are involved in trials as witnesses, victims, or defendants, jurors must decide whether they are credible and how to weigh their testimony in reaching a verdict. Thus, although much psychological research focuses on the actual accuracy of children's eyewitness testimony, it is also important to consider their perceived accuracy.
