Cognitive interview

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The cognitive interview is a method of questioning . The quality of the statements is improved by using the encoding specificity of memory content.

In a cognitive interview, the person interviewed is asked explicitly about the context of the actual memory, so that their memory activates various retrieval paths to the memory content.
