The objective of this study was to empirically explore the effects of structural features of interviews, such as interviewer’s attitude and drawing activities on the accuracy of children’s recall. To this end, the accuracy of memory recalls by 100 children of age 5-10 who had pediatric dentistry appointments was assessed by controlling their age, interviewer’s attitude (supportive vs. unsupportive), and whether or not they were given a chance to draw their experiences during the interview. The findings indicated that interviewer’s supportive attitude and drawing activity had positive effects on children’s recall. More specifically, children assigned to a supportive interviewer group showed higher accuracy and less error than children assigned to an unsupportive interviewer group. Furthermore, children who were given the chance of drawing provided more accurate free recall than those who were only allowed oral reporting. These results were especially heightened among children who exhibited a higher tendency of shyness. In addition, compared to older children, younger children were found to be relatively more influenced by the interviewer’s attitude and drawing activity. Based on these findings, this study discussed the significance of interviewer’s supportive communication as well as the usefulness of drawing as one of the supplementary tools during investigative interviews.
