Enhancing older adults’ eyewitness memory for present and future events with the Self-Administered Interview.

Abstract: Older adults’ memory reports are often less complete and accurate than those by younger adults. The current study assessed the suitability of the Self-Administered Interview (SAI) as retrieval support for older eyewitnesses, and examines whether experience with the SAI leads to improved performance on subsequent events where the SAI is not used. Participants recalled an event with the SAI or free recall instructions. After 1 week, all participants watched a second event and freely recalled its content. SAI par… Show more

“…Importantly, however, accuracy rates of the perpetrator and verifiable event details were not compromised. Moreover, the accuracy rates were comparable with those obtained in previous SAI studies (e.g., Gabbert et al, 2009;Gawrylowicz, Memon, Scoboria, Hope, et al, 2014;Hope et al, 2014). This pattern of increased recall comprehensiveness and stable accuracy rates has previously been termed the "SAI effect" (Gawrylowicz, Memon, & Scoboria, 2014, p. 320) and is analogous to what is commonly found in research on the Cognitive Interview (Memon et al, 2010) on which the SAI is based.…”

“…Relative to FR, the SAI elicits a higher number of correct details which usually amounts to a large effect -, but also a higher number of incorrect details. Importantly, however, accuracy rates (number of correct details reported divided by all reported details; see Meissner, Sporer, & Susa, 2008) do not differ between the SAI and FR (Gabbert et al, 2009;Gawrylowicz, Memon, Scoboria, Hope, & Gabbert, 2014). That accuracy rates are unaffected by the SAI is essential because it shows that information gain does not compromise the amount of correct information that is elicited.…”

“…A study assessing the level of agreement between 6425 children and their parents regarding dietary, physical, and sedentary behaviors reported a mean agreement rate of 43% [ 47 ]. Similarly, studies assessing memory recall for the same events in children, young adults, and the elderly showed that the reports of the elderly were as complete as the children’s but were the least accurate overall [ 48 ]. This highlights both the potential inaccuracies of self-reporting within certain cohorts and the need for ground-truth data due to the rate of disagreement found in reporting utilizing a proxy.…”

“…It is important to note that the video did not depict any actual sexual assault but suggests that this likely happened between camera shots. This video has been used in previous eyewitness memory studies (Gawrylowicz, Memon, & Scoboria, ; Gawrylowicz, Memon, Scoboria, Hope, & Gabbert, ). The event was presented on a laptop computer with a 12.1‐in screen, native resolution 1024 × 768, with 24 bit (16.7 m colours) colour support.…”

“…A coding scheme containing 407 visible details depicted in the video was used for coding the free recall test (see Gawrylowicz et al, 2014a,b). Coders were instructed to monitor the coding scheme while coding the information provided in the written free recalls.…”
