t to take longer to conduct than the standard police interview Such differences have been found in previous laboratory studies (Fisher, Geiselman, Raymond, Jurkevich, & Warhaftig, 1987; Geiselman et al., 1985); however, in neither of these two studies was the extra time responsible for the superiority of the Cogni- tive Inte

ect on the basis of the previous laboratory findings, in which the revised tech- nique was 45% more effective than the original (Fisher Geisel- man. Raymond, Jurkevich, & Warhaftig, 1987), which, in turn, was 25%-35% more effective than standard police interviews (Geiselman et al., 1985; Geiselman, Fisher, Cohen, et al., 1986)
