Three methods : | 1) Context reinstatement. 2) Recall from a changed perspective. 3) Report everything. |
Context reinstatement : | Trying to mentally recreate an image of the situation, including details of the environment and the individual's feelings at the same time of the incident. |
Recall from a changed perspective : | Trying to mentally recreate the situation from different points of view. |
Recall in reverse order. | The witness is asked to describe the scene in a different chronological order, e.g from the end to the beginning. |
Report everything : | The interviewer encourages the witness to report all details of the event, even the unimportant ones. |

Cons : | Time consuming to conduct. Takes longer than a police interview. Element of the cognitive interview may be more valuable than others, i.e research has shown a combination of report everything and context reinstatement produced better recall that any of the conditions individually. |
