Poster 37: The current study investigated whether the accuracy of dietary recall in interviews relates to when in the interview facts are recalled. Fifty-seven children (Mage=7) ate snacks and then were interviewed two days later about what foods they had eaten using either the Enhanced Cognitive Interview or the Multiple Pass Protocol. The recall portion of each interview was divided into three sections: beginning, middle, and end. Temporal aspects of recall influenced the likelihood that a given fact was accurate, inaccurate, or intrusive. Implications for public health and forensic interviews are discussed.
