so basically, the question asks how wording certain questions effect the accuracy of the final results.
ReplyDeleteindividuals may or may not recall all details of an event, however some details may be entirely useless for the interviewer.
The E.W. may answer question put upon them in a way that may make the results either more or less reliable changing the variables. on the other hand, some questions may be quite forceful and result in the E.W. giving false information.
We already know that the recognition of unformilier faces using a variaty of suspects can also misslead the info, resulting in an inocent sovillian being charged for crimes he/she did not commit.
Going back on to individual differences, people at certain ages can effect the final result, such as a 5-10 year old child, this child may lie about the situation to make it sound much worse, and those of an older age, for e.g. 22-26 may have more recognition than most due to memory being better to recall, and finally the elder generation for e.g. 70+ may have little recognition, other factors will also effect, such as how long ago the event occured.
kohnken et al (1999), used volunteers in a 'real world application' to test the effectveness of CI techniques outside the laboratory.
