Given the crucial role of eyewitness evidence, statements should be obtained as soon as possible after an incident. This is not always achieved due to demands on police resources. Two studies trace the development of a new tool, the Self-Administered Interview (SAI), designed to elicit a comprehensive initial statement. In Study 1, SAI participants reported more correct details than participants who provided a free recall account, and performed at the same level as participants given a Cognitive Interview. In Study 2, participants viewed a simulated crime and half recorded their statement using the SAI. After a delay of 1 week, all participants completed a free recall test. SAI participants recalled more correct details in the delayed recall task than control participants.
鉴于目击者证据的关键作用，应在事件发生后尽快获取陈述。由于警方资源紧张，这一点并非总能实现。两项研究追踪了一种新工具——自我管理访谈（SAI）的开发过程，该工具旨在引出一份全面的初始陈述。在研究1中，使用SAI的参与者比进行自由回忆叙述的参与者报告了更多正确细节，并且与接受认知访谈的参与者表现相当。在研究2中，参与者观看了一段模拟犯罪视频，其中一半人使用SAI记录他们的陈述。在延迟1周后，所有参与者都完成了一次自由回忆测试。在延迟回忆任务中，使用SAI的参与者比对照组参与者回忆起了更多正确细节。
