ESSAY PLANS Flashcards
Context reinstatement is the best component of CIT
How does this improve the CIT:
Context reinstatement most effective- more accurate recall
Puts them back at crime scene= more detail,
M+H recalling info in diff perspectives + temporal order no effective by themselves as fabrication of info
forward order then reverse
The CIT should be compared with the structured interview, rather than a standard interview
How does this help improve the CIT: Standard interview not standardised and has no cognitive element, so CIT may appear better because its standardised // structured interview is standardised Therefore, by comparing CIT to structured interview we are isolating cognitive element of the CIT so see how good they are at increasing witness recall
Training should be conducted by police sergeants
Increases willingness as less resistant to train
Seen as ‘one of them’
Improves CIT because intense training completed to ensure they know how to complete interviews to gather as much data as poss
Witnesses should be told to report everything
Potential to corroborate with other evidence
May access more data
Evaluate the methodology used to research collection and use of evidence from witnesses and suspects (15)
Psychologists:
Fisher- field
Bruce- lab
Kassin- lab
Bruce (lab)
P- high levels of control
E- no extraneous variables affected results about matching of faces
C- easier to establish cause and effect into amount of the face shown and witness matching
H- // no consequences to correct/incorrect matching= differ in real crime
Kassin (lab)
P- standardised
E- four conditions- 67 letters per minute for high vulnerability
C- able to check reliability of whether or not high vulnerability condition results in false confession- repeatable
H- // decreased eco validity- not real suspect
Fisher (field)
P- decreased DC
E- field exp- police officer in police station checking witness statement s
C- increases accuracy of results, want to solve crime at hand
H- // only gathered quantitative data
