Question 25

Researcher's Eyewitness Study

A researcher showed a group of volunteer participants a video clip of a collision at a busy road junction, where a cyclist was knocked off their bicycle by a speeding blue hatchback. Towards the end of the clip, the driver of the hatchback momentarily paused before speeding away. Afterwards, 12 of the participants were interviewed about the incident using a cognitive interview, while another 12 participants were interviewed using a standard interview.

One technique used in the cognitive interview is to 'reinstate the context'.

Identify one other technique that could have been used by the researcher in the cognitive interview. Write down the instructions that the researcher might have read out to the participants when using this technique.
