The cognitive interview technique aims to improve eyewitness recall through four methods: context reinstatement, reporting everything, recalling from a changed perspective, and recalling events in reverse order. These methods are intended to contextualize memories and access different retrieval paths to generate more comprehensive recall than a typical interview. The document also provides instructions for witnesses and discusses how the cognitive interview framework enhances memory retrieval.
