TLDR
In this paper, a meta-analysis was performed on the effects of cognitive interviews on correct and incorrect recall, and it was found that the accuracy rates were almost identical in both types of interviews (85% for the cognitive interview and 82% for standard interviews, respectively).Abstract:
A meta-analysis was performed on the effects of the cognitive interview on correct and incorrect recall. The database comprised 42 studies with 55 individual comparisons involving nearly 2500 interviewees. A strong overall effect size was found for the increase of correctly recalled details with the cognitive interview compared to a control interview (d = 0.87). The overall effect size for the increase in incorrect details, although considerably smaller, was also significant toward the cognitive interview (d = 0.28). However, the accuracy rates (proportion of correct details relative to the total amount of details reported) were almost identical in both types of interview (85% for the cognitive interview and 82% for standard interviews, respectively). Taking methodological factors into consideration it was found that effect sizes for correct details were larger if staged events were used as the to-be-remembered episode (as compared to video films) and if the interviewees actively participated in ...read more

The Cognitive Interview: A meta-analytic review and study space analysis of the past 25 years.
TL;DR: The Cognitive Interview (CI) is a well-established protocol for interviewing wit- nesses as discussed by the authors, which is based upon established psychological principles of remembering and retrieval of information from memory, and empirical laboratory research on the CI has documented its ability to dramatically improve the number of correct details while only slightly increasing the incorrect details.

Increasing Cognitive Load to Facilitate Lie Detection: The Benefit of Recalling an Event in Reverse Order
TL;DR: The hypotheses that the difference between liars and truth tellers will be greater when interviewees report their stories in reverse order than in chronological order are tested and instructing interviewees to recall their stories to facilitate detecting deception are tested.

Eyewitness Evidence Improving Its Probative Value
TL;DR: Psychological science is in a strong position to help the criminal justice system understand eyewitness accounts of criminal events and improve their accuracy, but psychological science has yet to have its fullest possible influence on how the justice system collects and interprets eyewitness evidence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the effect size from a series of experiments using a fixed effect model and a general linear model, and combine these two models to estimate the effect magnitude.
