cognitive interview (Fisher and Geiselman)
- 1) report everything
- witnesses are encouraged to include every little detail of the event, even though it may seem irrelevant
- 2) mental reinstatement
- witness should return to he original crime scene in their mind and imagine the environment (e.g. what the weather was like, what they could see) and their emotions
- 3) reverse order
- events recalled in a different chronological order (e.g. from the back to beginning) -prevents people using their scripts and prevents dishonesty
- 4) change perspective
- witnesses should recall the incident from other peoples perspectives
- reduced anxiety, minimising distractions, getting he witness to speak slowly and asking open ended questions
- evaluation
- time consuming
- police are reluctant to do the CI as it is a lot more time consuming than SI
- also needs special training
- some elements may be more valuable than others
- milne and bull found that a combination of report everything and metal reinstatement produced better recall than any of the others
- meta analysis by Kohnken et al combined data from 50 studies
- found enhanced CI consistently provided more correct info than SI
