Abstract
Cognitive interviewing, the main topic of this chapter, is an interviewing technique that uses established theories of memory and recall. The technique assists investigators in jogging and clarifying the recollections of a witness through a combination of retrieval mnemonics. As reported in the chapter, research has disclosed that hypnosis produces more information than cognitive interviewing, but at the expense of more incorrect, confabulated, and attributional information. Cognitive interviewing provides slightly less but more accurate new information than hypnosis.
