​
The Enhanced Cognitive Interview (ECI) is a refinement of the original Cognitive Interview (CI), incorporating additional social and communication principles to further improve the amount of accurate information recalled by cooperative witnesses. The ECI has consistently demonstrated superior results compared to the original CI and standard interviews. While retaining the original four memory retrieval techniques (context reinstatement, report everything, change order, and change perspective), the ECI emphasizes a more holistic, person-centered approach to interviewing.
The integration of these social and communicative components with the original cognitive mnemonics results in an even more effective interview technique. Studies show that the ECI can elicit a significantly greater amount of correct information (up to 45% more in some studies) compared to the original version, without a significant increase in the number of errors or confabulations (made-up details).​
