You will interview a friend or family member who is elderly, a child, or who has a developmental disability, about an event or incident in their daily life. Summarize the story they tell you and identify the set of interview techniques you used. Explain why you used these interview techniques. Discuss what considerations you took into account before interviewing this person. Identify and define the techniques you used during the interview. I interviewed my grandmother who is 74 years old and will be 75 in June. I will use inferential interview and cognitive interview in my article. First, I asked my grandmother to tell me a little about herself and what she does on a daily basis; a little about his tasks. When I asked her, I used both cognitive and inferential interviews, she spoke while I listened to some of what she was saying, based on her story she was telling me I would ask her questions so I could get an accurate memory, or accuracy, using inferential interviews. Then when I asked her the questions, I had gotten words like; let me think, otherwise I don't remember, and wait, I don't remember. All partly because she was an older citizen or because her memory wasn't on point; which I took into consideration before interviewing her that she might be a little slower to respond to questions asked due to memory loss or simply forgetfulness. When I asked her to tell me what she does on a daily basis, we had to stop every now and then to give her a break (bath, drink and snack). I didn't do a pre-interview knowing that I already knew my grandmother. We had done the interview in a quiet place, free from distractions and quite early in the morning. I talked to her... in the middle of the paper... about my grandmother. I had made sure that he did not use verbal escapes and verbal hedging, such as using words like, um, uh and o. He used some of those words but not much, I can't tell if he was trying to avoid the question or just couldn't remember (Gosselin, 2007). Compare and contrast at least two distinct techniques in your paper. Finally, comparing the two techniques, I would say that the cognitive interview had the best results, especially in an interview with older adults. He was able to tell me his life story without asking questions. When it came time to ask the questions for the inferential interview, he had more difficulty cognitively formulating his statement; this may be due to his age and memory loss.
