| scopeNote | The mental context reinstatement generally facilitates the retrieval of experienced events. It is one of the mnemonic aids implemented in the Cognitive Interview with the eyewitness. However, under certain circumstances, the strategy may also exert a negative influence on memory (e.g., Doss et al., 2018).
