The Self-Administered Interview (SAI) is a tool that is used to obtain eyewitness memories. Adopting the techniques of the cognitive interview (CI), the SAI was developed in the form of a booklet consisting of several parts. The unique aspect of the SAI is a sketch section that asks eyewitnesses to describe the context of an incident by drawing pictures. This study investigates the effectiveness of the SAI by focusing on the effect of the sketch on memory recall. Participants ( = 180) watched a crime video and recalled events in a 3 (recall method: SAI, CI, free recall [FR]) × 2 (delay: immediate, one week) between-subjects design. The results showed no significant difference among recall methods when the information from the sketch was excluded. When the sketch information was included, the SAI gained better results than the CI and FR in terms of memory recall. In addition, memory performance was better for the immediate SAI compared with the delayed CI. The practical implications of the SAI are discussed.
自我管理式访谈（SAI）是一种用于获取目击者记忆的工具。SAI采用了认知访谈（CI）的技术，以由几个部分组成的小册子形式开发。SAI的独特之处在于有一个草图部分，要求目击者通过画图来描述事件的背景。本研究通过关注草图对记忆回忆的影响来调查SAI的有效性。参与者（n = 180）观看了一段犯罪视频，并在一个3（回忆方法：SAI、CI、自由回忆[FR]）×2（延迟：即时、一周）的组间设计中回忆事件。结果表明，当排除草图信息时，回忆方法之间没有显著差异。当包含草图信息时，在记忆回忆方面，SAI比CI和FR取得了更好的结果。此外，即时SAI的记忆表现优于延迟CI。文中讨论了SAI的实际意义。
