Following Mangiulli et al. (unpublished), a scoring system was established to assess participants’ free recall. We first classified the mock crime video into 50 critical information units. Critical information was defined as a relevant piece of the video. For each correct unit of information reported (e.g., “I assaulted the victim from the back”), participants scored 1 point (maximum = 50). Moreover, participants earned a half point for each partially correct unit of information given (e.g., “I assaulted the victim”). In line with previous studies (i.e., van Oorsouw and Merckelbach, 2004; Sun et al., 2009), the entire correct score was transformed into proportions (range = 0–1) by dividing the number correct units reported by the maximum obtainable score. Additionally, we identified the number of distorted units (e.g., “I killed the victim by shooting him”) and commissions (i.e., introduction of new information that was not displayed in the video: “The victim was wearing a ski mask”). The first author and two assistants, who were blind to the study conditions, scored participants’ free recall. The interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) average measure for the number of correct free recall scores was 0.93 (p < 0.001); the ICC’s for distortions and commissions were 0.86 and 0.83, respectively (both ps < 0.001).
