We examined the effect of a prior Modified Cognitive Interview on young and older adults' recall of a short film of a staged crime and subsequent reporting of misinformation. Participants viewed the film followed the next day by misinformation presented in a postevent summary. They were then interviewed with either a Modified Cognitive Interview or a control interview followed by a recognition memory test. A Modified Cognitive Interview elicited more correct details and improved overall accuracy compared to a control interview in both age groups, although the young adults recollected three times more correct information in a Modified Cognitive Interview than the older adults. In both age groups, correct recollections of person and action details were higher in a Modified Cognitive Interview than a control interview. Importantly, older adults who were interviewed with a Modified Cognitive Interview were not susceptible to misinformation effects.
我们考察了先前的修正认知访谈对年轻和年长成人回忆一段短的犯罪场景影片以及随后对错误信息报告的影响。参与者观看了影片，第二天接着呈现了事件后概要中的错误信息。然后他们接受修正认知访谈或对照访谈，之后进行再认记忆测试。与对照访谈相比，修正认知访谈在两个年龄组中都引出了更多正确的细节并提高了整体准确性，尽管年轻成人在修正认知访谈中回忆的正确信息比年长成人多三倍。在两个年龄组中，修正认知访谈中对人和动作细节的正确回忆都高于对照访谈。重要的是，接受修正认知访谈的年长成人不受错误信息影响。
