Abstract
Higham and Robert's (1996) position on measures of
performance in the cognitive interview (CI) is clarified in light
of Fisher's (1996) commentary. Also, percent correct, and a
measure of sensitivity derived from signal detection theory, are
compared for two hypothetical interviewees whose response output is
varied.
Keywords
Cognitive interview, errors, eyewitness memory,
facilitated recall, police procedures, questioning, recovered
memories, structured interview.
