Abstract
As demonstrated in Ohkado and Ikegawa (2014) and Ohkado (2015), studies on children claiming to have life-between-life, womb, and birth memories can be treated together with those with past-life memories as children claiming to have anomalous memories that cannot be accounted for by "mind-brain reductionism." One of the criticisms about these studies is a concern that, since the inception of a study typically takes place long after children started to talk about such memories, what they claim to remember might have been "contaminated" by various inputs from people around them. Taking into consideration the fact that children tend to be higher in suggestibility than adults, this concern is real and the best possible effort should be made. This study proposes a new approach to collecting data concerning children's anomalous memories to cope with the problem.
