Inattentional blindness (IB)¿failing to notice an obvious and unexpected event when attention is focused elsewhere¿has been shown to have different effects on recall quantity and quality in previous research. In the present study, we explored whether the type of recall task can explain these reporting differences for witnesses who have experienced inattentional blindness for a crime. Participants (N = 206) viewed a video containing an unexpected physical assault while completing an attention-demanding task. Whether they noticed the crime was assessed immediately afterward. Following a filler task, they were exposed to postevent information (containing misinformation) and either completed a free or cued recall task. Compared to participants who noticed the crime, participants who experienced inattentional blindness were only less accurate and confident when completing cued recall. These findings further highlight the need to prioritize free recall in investigative interviews, especially when interviewing inattentive witnesses.
