“…Most studies of forensic child interviewing have until recently focused on the type of question asked during the interview (Lamb, Hershkowitz, Orbach, & Esplin, 2008; Thoresen, Lønnum, Melinder, & Magnussen, 2009), or have manipulated isolated variables in the laboratory to study effects of suggestive questioning and social pressure (Ceci & Bruck, 1995), or studied unstructured interviews of mock cases (Melinder & Gilstrap, 2009). Despite the introduction of systematic guidelines and recommendations, many field studies reveal that professionals across countries still struggle in their interview practice (Hershkowitz, Horowitz, & Lamb, 2005; Johnson et al, 2015; Korkman, Santtila, & Sandnabba, 2006), although improvements have also been reported (Cederborg, Alm, Nises, & Lamb, 2013; Melinder, Magnusson, & Gilstrap, 2020).…”
