The procedure of talking in-depth with the subjects after an experiment in order to ensure that there was no lasting psychological harm done is known as debriefing. Option A, anonymity, is not relevant in this context as it refers to the protection of the subjects' identity. Option C, follow-up, refers to checking back with subjects after a certain period of time, which may or may not involve debriefing. Option D, privacy, is also not relevant in this context as it refers to the confidentiality of the subjects' personal information. Option E, interview, is too broad and does not specifically refer to the post-experiment procedure of debriefing.
