A

Asimple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause

the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. A new finding

suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with

their hands as well as their words.

While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion, those

of children are known to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders

of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them

and can be misled even if not intentionally.

Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause

false answers; when asked, say “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is likely

to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is consciously

lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.

To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only

open-ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question

paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question.

That is, children become likely to answer falsely.

And it isn’t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false

information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also become

more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders

said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. “It certainly

seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”

In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your

hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers

that don’t reflect what actually happened.”
