Summary Increasing recall is crucial for investigative interviews. The enhanced cognitive interview (ECI) has been widely used this purpose and found to be generally effective. We focused on further increasing with a new strategy, category clustering (CCR). Participants watched mock robbery video were interviewed 48 hours later either the (i) ECI; (ii) revised 1 (RECI1) — CCR instead of change order mnemonic during second recall; or (iii) 2 (RECI2) also but conjunctly ‘eye closure’...

However, research overlooked witnesses' attitudes toward the interview and how error estimate memory capacity relate to report quality. Participants watched a mock robbery video were interviewed 48 hours later with either Portuguese version of ECI or Structured (SI). provided more information without compromising accuracy, particularly in free recall. Report accuracy was stable across phases categories. A higher...

The Cognitive Interview (CI) is one of the most widely studied and used methods to interview witnesses. However, new component techniques for further increasing correct recall are still crucial. We focused on how a simpler strategy, Category Clustering Recall (CCR), could increase in comparison with witness-compatible questioning tested if Revised (RCI) CCR instead without change order perspective mnemonics would be effective this purpose. Participants watched mock robbery video were...
