Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique used to record Mr.Nguyen's statement is called a cognitive interview. This type of interview involves asking witnesses to recall the events of the crime from multiple perspectives to enhance the accuracy of their memory recall. The witness is encouraged to provide as much detail as possible and to avoid holding anything back, which is consistent with Mr.Nguyen's situation. Free association refers to a psychological technique to generate spontaneous, unedited responses. Memory-retrieval association is not a recognized technique. Source attribution refers to correctly identifying the source of information, which is not relevant to the scenario provided.
