The present study investigates the impact of stereotype induction and disapproval on children’s memory. Forty preschoolers participated (23 girls, between 4 and 6 years old (M = 62.7 months, SD = 8.03) and 36 schoolchildren (17 girls), between 7 and 8 years old (M = 95.4 months, SD = 6.21) who received a visit from a “scientist” who who held a science’s demonstration. Transmissions of stereotype and disapproval were carried out via videos. Interviews were conducted to assess children’s memory of the event. The main results indicate that schoolchildren remembered more accurate information than preschoolers. Furthermore, there is a positive relationship between recall of accurate memories and stereotype-related information, which is moderated by the age of the participants. The main contribution is the empirical investigation of the impact of age on the accuracy of children’s memory reports about a target event, and the relationship between accurate memory and false memories.
