To test this, researchers took 76 children and showed them a clip from “Dog Day Afternoon” in italian. The children were randomly assigned to the two different interviewing techniques, eyes closed or eyes opened. The children were asked to give the instructor free recall and then answer 20 cued questions. Participants were interviewed again one week later, and were again randomly assigned to an interviewing technique. The results showed us that the children that were interviewed with their eyes closed were much more accurate and could remember the details of the film clip longer.
