The cognitive interview (CI) has been shown to increase correct memory recall of a diverse range of participant types, without an increase in the number of incorrect or confabulated details. However, it has rarely been examined for use with adults with intellectual disability.
This study compared the memory recall of twenty-one adults with a mild intellectual disability (ID) (IQ 70-50) and twenty-one adults from the general population (GP). Participants viewed a film of a staged distraction theft and were interviewed using either the CI or the structured interview (SI).
The CI, when compared to the SI, enhanced the correct recall of person, action and conversation (gist) detail for both participant types, without increasing the number of incorrect or confabulated details reported. The ID group reported significantly less correct information than the GP regardless of the interview used.
The findings suggest that the CI can enable adults with intellectual disability to provide a fuller picture about an experienced event. Implications of this research are discussed.
认知访谈(CI)已被证明可以增加各种类型参与者的正确记忆回忆,而不会增加不正确或虚构细节的数量。然而,它很少被用于检查智力残疾成年人的使用情况。
本研究比较了 21 名轻度智力障碍(ID)(智商 70-50)成年人和 21 名普通人群(GP)成年人的记忆回忆。参与者观看了一段 staged distraction theft 的电影,并使用 CI 或结构化访谈(SI)进行了访谈。
与 SI 相比,CI 增强了对人和行动以及对话(要点)细节的正确回忆,而不会增加报告的不正确或虚构细节的数量。无论使用哪种访谈方式,ID 组报告的正确信息都明显少于 GP 组。
研究结果表明,CI 可以使智力残疾成年人更全面地描述所经历的事件。讨论了这项研究的意义。
