Rapport-building with cooperative witnesses and criminal suspects: A theoretical and empirical review. (2015, background): “Similar to adult investigative interviewing guidelines, rapportbuilding is recommended by all leading child witness interviewing guidelines, most notably the NICHD protocol (Lamb et al., 2007).”
INVITED REVIEW The fallibility of memory in judicial processes: Lessons from the past and their modern consequences (2015, background): “Interviewers are urged to use open-ended questions as the norm, only use recognition prompts or yes/no and forced choice questions later in the interview, and only when needed to elicit undisclosed forensically relevant information (Lamb et al., 2007).”
Interview Protocol Refinement: Fine-Tuning Qualitative Research Interview Questions for Multi-Racial Populations in Malaysia (2018, methodology): “A similar strategy was employed by Lamb et al. which suggested that respondents should be given the opportunity to recall information in open ended prompts before researchers employ more risky interviewing techniques (Lamb et al., 2007).”
