Development of an instrument to assess clinicians' recognition memory using a videotaped stimulus interview

This study represents the development of an instrument to assess clinicians' memory using a videotaped counseling interview. The instrument, called the Recognition Checklist (RC), consists of 60 items of information based on the content presented by the client on the stimulus tape. Initial findings indicated that this instrument has promising reliability and validity and warrants further development and application to the study of clinicians' memory of the interview process and interviewing skill training.
