Forensic interviewing involves gathering information from a suspect or eyewitness. Administering a model statement during an interview results in greater information elicitation, which can enhance lie detection. Typically, a model statement is a highly detailed statement, on an unrelated topic to that of the interview. This study examined the effect of manipulating the modality of the MS, either by allowing participants to listen to (Audio‐MS), or read (Written‐MS) a model statement. A total of 162 (81 truth tellers, 81 liars) participants were randomly allocated to one of three interviewing conditions where they received either the Audio‐MS, Written‐MS, or No‐MS (control condition). Truth tellers honestly reported a “spy” mission, whereas liars performed a covert mission and lied about their activities. Results showed both model statements were equally more effective at eliciting information and facilitating lie detection, compared with a control condition. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

使用模型陈述来挑逗欺骗的信息和提示：检查演示方式的效果

法医采访涉及从犯罪嫌疑人或目击者那里收集信息。在面试过程中管理模型陈述会导致更多的信息启发，从而可以增强测谎能力。通常，模型陈述是非常详细的陈述，与访谈主题无关。这项研究通过允许参与者收听（Audio-MS）或阅读（Written-MS）模型陈述来检验操纵MS模式的效果。总共162名参与者（81名真相告诉者，81名说谎者）被随机分配到三种采访条件中的一种，他们接受了Audio-MS，Written-MS或No-MS（控制条件）。实话实话者诚实地报告了一次“间谍”任务，而说谎者则执行了秘密任务并对其活动撒谎。结果表明，与对照条件相比，两种模型陈述在诱发信息和促进谎言检测方面都同样有效。讨论了理论和实践意义。
