Read the article, in LPM Magazine, about why we should consider the efficacy of eyewitness interviews as proof for gathering reliable cognitive evidence.
Why not focus on the interviewer?
Since previous eyewitness interview studies focused on the accuracy of eyewitness statements why aren’t we looking at the interview techniques that seek truthful answers? Because eyewitness memory is highly susceptible to manipulation and can result in unreliable information we should be asking questions in a mindful way.
