The original <italic>Cognitive Interview</italic> is a procedure drawn from cognitive psychology for questioning eyewitnesses to crimes. This dissertation provides several key elements for future, robust evaluations of whether the Cognitive Interview affects an eyewitness's performance when asked to identify the criminal. In photographic lineup (<italic>photospread</italic>) tasks, performance is measured by <italic>identification accuracy</italic> and <italic> choosing rates</italic>. It is argued that researchers may have prematurely dismissed the Cognitive Interview as being unhelpful with such tasks. Therefore, a literature analysis, a photospread fairness evaluation, and a model experimental design for assessing the Cognitive Interview's identification efficacy are presented here.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The original <italic>Cognitive Interview</italic> is a procedure drawn from cognitive psychology for questioning eyewitnesses to crimes. This dissertation provides several key elements for future, robust evaluations of whether the Cognitive Interview affects an eyewitness's performance when asked to identify the criminal. In photographic lineup (<italic>photospread</italic>) tasks, performance is measured by <italic>identification accuracy</italic> and <italic> choosing rates</italic>. It is argued that researchers may have prematurely dismissed the Cognitive Interview as being unhelpful with such tasks. Therefore, a literature analysis, a photospread fairness evaluation, and a model experimental design for assessing the Cognitive Interview's identification efficacy are presented here.
520 $a The literature analysis focuses on the validity of the adult Cognitive Interview studies, with published results organized by a priori power level and effect size. In the photospread fairness study, 60 adult volunteers served as <italic>mock witnesses</italic>. Based solely on a brief description of a specific crime and offender, they were asked to select the likely offender from a photospread that did or did not include him (a <italic>target-present </italic> or <italic>target-absent</italic> photospread, respectively). The photospreads' difficulty, or <italic>fairness</italic>, was modestly assessed using various statistical approaches, some original to this study. It was hypothesized that each photospread would meet most or all of the fairness criteria. The model design includes detailed suggestions on data analysis, materials, and procedures to test a stronger Cognitive Interview manipulation in controlled but fairly realistic conditions.
520 $a Overall, the literature analysis revealed a less conclusive body of results than is commonly described, and it revealed power levels too low to allow reliable interpretation of most nonsignificant findings. The results of the photospread fairness study supported its hypothesis: The target-absent photospread met five of the seven fairness criteria, and the target-present photospread met them all.
520 $a Both photospreads were deemed suitable for use in a well-designed identification study; such photospreads might enhance the detectability of treatment effects. Future researchers are encouraged to evaluate the Cognitive Interview more robustly for eyewitness identification effects—drawing from this dissertation's model experimental design if desired—to help clarify the strengths and limits of a well known procedure very relevant to police investigations.
