✦ Synopsis

The purpose of this article is to examine the appropriate use of the implanted memory paradigm with children. In this paradigm, participants are asked repeatedly about ®ctitious events that never transpired. The responses of children in these investigations demonstrate clearly that they can be led to unintentionally create false memories. This article addresses whether memory research should continue to encourage children to create memories for events that never happened. The literature in other areas of psychology suggests that deception may lessen respect for authority, aect a child's self-esteem, and create stress. We propose that the use of the implanted memory paradigm be suspended inde®nitely or until appropriate research demonstrates that the paradigm does not aect children negatively.
