This thesis explored young children's reporting of non-experienced (false) events. It demonstrated that children can be led to provide convincing reports of plausible and implausible false events within both narrow and broad contextual frameworks. Further, it showed that investigative interviewers utilise questioning techniques that could elicit false-event reports from children.
