This resource collects excerpts on confabulation and memory difficulties associated with brain injury. One reviewed case series links confabulation with impaired response monitoring and self-correction, while another source discusses memory-related misidentification syndromes and possible neurological mechanisms.
Children’s suggestibility describes how post-event influences can alter recollection, with susceptibility shaped by more than age alone. The resource reviews research on memory strength, source monitoring, interview context, and interviewer bias, including studies of children’s responses to misleading questions and inaccurate reports.
The Personality Assessment Inventory is a self-report measure of personality and psychopathology used in forensic and clinical settings. This overview describes its 344 items, clinical and validity scales, comparison samples, and reported reliability and validity, including its role in assessing treatment-related characteristics rather than directly measuring suggestibility.
The Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scales assess how people respond to leading questions and interpersonal pressure during formal questioning. The resource describes the Yield and Shift measures, their forensic and clinical uses, and research on their reliability, validity, administration, and limits as one component of a broader assessment.
Research on suggestibility examines how questioning and stress can affect a person’s responses and memory. The cited studies address interrogation stress, leading questions, pressure, false confessions, memory conformity, and the assessment of individual vulnerabilities, including findings from military survival-school participants.
The Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scales (GSS) assess how a person responds to leading questions and negative feedback after hearing a short story. The review describes parallel forms, Yield and Shift scores, their use in considering vulnerability during questioning, and research on reliability and related factors such as memory, anxiety, and intellectual ability.
Children’s suggestibility can be shaped by factors such as age, prior knowledge, interviewer bias, repeated questions, and exposure to misinformation. The resource reviews research on children’s memory and forensic interviews, including findings that changing details of an experienced event may differ from planting or erasing an event memory.
