About the lecture

In this lecture, we explore how forensic psychologists can assist police with the interviewing process, focusing in particular on: (i) assisting memory, including the use of the ‘cognitive interview’; (ii) conversation management, including building rapport and using open questions; (iii) detecting deception, including being aware of false allegations and false confessions.
