Researchers Wright and Holliday conducted a study in 2007 that investigated how age affects recall of information. They found that the older the participant, the less complete and accuracy of recall was.
However, the study showed that when the cognitive interview technique was used, the older participants remembered a lot more information with more detail and that they gave no incorrect information.
In conclusion, this study proves that the cognitive interview technique does increase the accuracy of recall as it provides significantly more information and reduces the amount of false information given. This means that the cognitive interview technique can be used to gain more accurate information and help to reduce miscarriages of justice.
