Even the most willing interview subject can run into a mental block. The cognitive interview method provides a structured, strategic approach  for extracting more information from a subject while identifying potential concerns within a story or alibi; the more details you obtain, the more accurate you become in determining the legitimacy of the information. This webinar will provide an overview of this structure, helping to overcome biases as well as address active listening, question formulation and  proper questioning techniques during advanced interviewing phases of the cognitive interview.
