ABSTRACT

Precise documentation of criminal proceedings is essential for evidence-based legal investigation. Unfortunately, in several countries there is no obligation to document interrogations electronically. Investigators often take notes to reconstruct the witness statement for protocol writing. This study investigated individual differences in the quality of written records of a mock witness statement in a 2 (Note Taking Style) x 2 (Note Taking Option) pseudorandomized between-subjects design. A part of the participants wrote their records verbatim (e.g., in full sentences without any abbreviations), while the other part wrote their records without any style instruction. In addition, half of the participants took notes every 6 minutes during the video, while the other half took notes after the video. Contrary to hypothesis 1, we did not observe a significant difference for note taking style in the record quality. Consistent with hypothesis 2, participants who took notes every 6 minutes during the video reproduced more correct details than participants who took notes after the video. In accordance with hypothesis 3, higher verbal memory ability was related to a superior reproduction of correct details. Conclusively, higher verbal working memory ability in conjunction with an intermittent note taking style is advantageous for taking protocols.

模拟证人陈述的书面记录质量:言语记忆能力、记笔记风格和记笔记选项的影响

摘要

刑事诉讼的准确记录对于循证法律调查至关重要。不幸的是,在一些国家,没有义务以电子方式记录审讯。调查人员经常做笔记来重建用于协议编写的证人陈述。本研究在 2(笔记样式)x 2(笔记选项)伪随机受试者间设计中调查了模拟证人陈述的书面记录质量的个体差异。一部分参与者逐字记录他们的记录(例如,在没有任何缩写的完整句子中),而另一部分则在没有任何风格说明的情况下编写他们的记录。此外,一半的参与者在视频期间每 6 分钟做一次笔记,而另一半在视频结束后做笔记。与假设 1 相反,我们没有观察到记录质量的笔记风格有显着差异。与假设 2 一致,在视频期间每 6 分钟做一次笔记的参与者比在视频后做笔记的参与者再现了更多正确的细节。根据假设 3,较高的语言记忆能力与正确细节的出色再现有关。最后,较高的口头工作记忆能力与间歇性笔记风格相结合,有利于制定协议。较高的语言记忆能力与正确细节的出色再现有关。最后,较高的口头工作记忆能力与间歇性笔记风格相结合,有利于制定协议。较高的语言记忆能力与正确细节的出色再现有关。最后,较高的口头工作记忆能力与间歇性笔记风格相结合,有利于制定协议。
