video-recall technique

a research procedure in which participants review a video recording of their behavior in a previous situation and report what they were thinking, feeling, or otherwise experiencing at that time. The video-recall technique is intended to reduce distortion in self-reports, the premise being that reimmersion in the situation generates a more representative set of recollections with less defensive justification than memory alone.
