Multiple Choice

Even though these studies show a significant proportion of children changing their accounts in response to misleading questions, these studies probably still underestimate the children's tendency to agree with misleading questions. Here are the reasons for such underestimation, EXCEPT:

• A) The questioning techniques in real cases were much more forceful than in experiments.
• B) In real cases, children were questioned multiple times by different interviewers.
• C) The information obtained by interviewers in real cases was shared with parents who also questioned their children.
• D) Children in the experiments were much older than children in the day care center cases.
