“…Studies have amply demonstrated the benefits of questions that elicit multi-word responses, such as ''what,'' ''who,'' ''where,'' ''when,'' or ''how,'' in comparison to forced choice questions that limit responses to a single word, such as ''yes/no'' or multiple choice questions (e.g., Waterman, Blades, & Spencer, 2001). Open-ended questions elicit longer, more detailed, more accurate, and less self-contradictory responses from older children and adolescents than do the other types of interviewer utterances and are less likely to mislead younger children.…”
