Cognitive interview
Cards in this deck (4)
- 1Report everythingWitnesses are encouraged to report every singe detail, if it is seemingly trivial. This is because they may trigger other important memories.
- 2Reinstate the contextThe witness should go back to the crime scene in their mind, and remember what their surroundings were like and the emotions they were feeling. This is related to context dependent forgetting (environmental context clues may trigger memories).
- 3Change perspectiveWitnesses should recall the event from the perspective of others that were there at the scene (such as the criminal or other witnesses).
This is done to disrupt the schema on recall. - 4Reverse the orderEvents should be recalled from a different chronological order than the original sequence. Done to prevent people reporting their expectations of how the event must have happened and prevents dishonesty.
