Third, we examined whether participants’ free-recall accounts or their scores on the individual difference measures could predict the effect that cross-examination would have on accuracy.The amount of free-recall information reported at the first inter-view (Pearson’s r(125) = .26, p = .003) and raw scores on the WASI Vocabulary sub test (r(126) = .19, p = .03) were positively associated with cross-examination accuracy-change scores. (Note, the latter correlation only approached significance when the data were not adjusted for outliers, r(126) = .16, p = .06). A positive correlation between accuracy-change scores and the amount of free recall information reported at the second interview approached significance (r(126) = .15, p = .09). The accuracy of the information reported during the two free-recall tasks, raw scores on the WASI Matrices subtest and the WRAML verbal and nonverbal subtests,and standardised WASI and WRAML scores were not associated with cross-examination accuracy-change scores (ps = .41–1.00).
