Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recording thoughts immediately after the interview allows the researcher to capture their initial reactions and thoughts while the conversation is still fresh in their mind. Waiting until all interviews are completed may result in forgetting important details or impressions. Taking notes during the interview may be distracting and a recorded interview may not capture all nuances or nonverbal cues.
