Definición

  • A modified version of the cognitive interview to improve the description of persons (Py & Dermarchi, 2006). The procedure begins by presenting the witness with three mnemonic aids. The first two are taken from the original version of the cognitive interview: the "recall everything" instruction (the witness is asked to report as much information as possible, including elements about which he or she is uncertain or considers unimportant) and the "context reinstatement" instruction (the witness is encouraged to think back to the environmental and emotional elements present at the moment of the crime). A holistic processing instruction is added, which encourages the witness to "recall the person in a global way and to evoke the impressions and feelings he or she had when seeing the offender" (p. 201). The first recall after these instructions is followed by a description of the person from the side. Finally, the witness is asked to answer various questions about the physical characteristics of the perpetrator, which are generally reported with accuracy.
