Cognitive Interview for Suspects  

Definition

  • Adaptation of the Cognitive Interview for the interrogation of suspects. Some of the instructions are designed to increase the cognitive load in order to facilitate deception detection. The method has eight stages: "(a) rapport building, (b) initial recall of event, (c) reinstate the context of the event by drawing the event in sequential order, (d) additional recall, (e) follow-up questions (open ended), (f) recall of event in reverse order, (g) interviewer challenges the story as false, and (h) final recounting of event. In the last stage, the suspect is allowed to clarify or change any information they wish, before the final closure stage of the process." (Logue et al., 2015, p. 362).
