Australian children aged 6-9 years (N = 120, 71 females; data collected in 2021-2022) were tasked with remembering the locations of 1, 3, 5, and 7 targets hidden under 25 cups on different trials. In the critical test phase, children were provided with a limited number of tokens to allocate across trials, which they could use to mark target locations and assist future memory performance. Following the search period, children were invited to adjust their previous token allocation.

Bloodstained fabrics found at crime scenes are likely to have had processing treatments, such as dyeing or printing, but the effect of the treatments on bloodstain morphology is not always considered. In order to study the effect of digital printing on bloodstain morphology, drip stains were created from five impact velocities (1.9-5.

The majority of fabrics at crime scenes have been coloured in some way. The effect of such treatments on resultant bloodstains has not been considered. In this work, horse blood was dropped onto reactively dyed calico fabrics (100% cotton, plain woven) with three different masses of 91 g m², 171 g m² and 243 g m² and the results compared to previous work on the not-coloured calico fabric.

This paper discusses the effects of thickness, mass per unit area, sett, yarn linear density and twist of calico fabrics (100% cotton, plain woven) on the morphology of passive bloodstains. Horse blood was dropped vertically onto three calico fabrics with different mass per unit areas (85.1 g/m², 163.
