Compared to experimental and human sciences, law has never been productive but it has always utilized the results and information obtained through other sciences, psychology in particular. Therefore, new psychological findings about memory and age could both and must be taken into account in law as concerns interpretation and making judgment. Psychological findings show Judges rely on the testimony of older people because their situation (Memory and Perception) is undefinable. Radical skepticism of lawyers, regarding children's testimony should be balanced by new findings about the psychology of children's memory. And yet, it is suggested that problems of testimony of the child which is resulting from his indoctrination must be resolved by measures of psychology.
