Abstract
Children are often perceived as unreliable witnesses which could affect the treatment of this vulnerable group within the criminal justice system. Metacognition is a complex and higher-order skill which is used to help us reflect on whether our memory for a past event is correct or not. In this review, we consider theoretical and empirical evidence on the development of this skill and its application for improving child interview procedures.Author note:This work was supported by an ESRC grant (1001128) to M.C.
