Learning Objective

  • Analyze the limitations of human memory in interview scenarios.
  • Discuss how cognitive interviewing techniques gather detailed information effectively.
  • Adapt cognitive interviewing methods to suit various personality types.
  • Explore ways to improve data retention and recall during interviews.

Course Overview

Employers will, at times, need to investigate concerns about an employee’s behavior—whether formally or informally. Setting up hotlines and reporting channels is a start, but it’s the beginning.

The real challenge lies in what comes next. Allegations need more than just a passing glance—they need to be dissected and, when warranted, thoroughly investigated. Are you skimping on this part? That’s a fast track to damaging your organization.

While every investigation is its own beast, the endgame remains the same: dig out the truth. How you handle it may vary, but the rules of engagement don’t. Stick to proven techniques and keep things fair, transparent, and consistent. This CPE Course explains how to interview witnesses about what they remember from an event.  The primary focus of the cognitive interview is to make witnesses aware of the totality of what occurred.  Each participant will receive an infographic of the “Rules for Investigators” that contains useful advice for investigators. 

This online webinar by Meric Bloc, covers the following key topics:

  • How does a witness’ memory deteriorate over time?
  • How can cognitive interviewing principles be used to maximize detailed memory retrieval?
  • Identify ways to be an effective interviewer and adapt to different personality types.
  • Limitations of cognitive interviewing so you can use it effectively.

Join us, and you’ll learn how memory fades with time, how to use cognitive interviewing to pull out crucial details, and how to tailor your approach to different personality types.
