Abstract: Stimulated recall (SR) is a research methodology involving the retrospective verbalization of cognition, \nwhereby participants are prompted to recall the thought processes that informed an action or that were \nprompted by an event. The central characteristics of this method are the use of a recall stimulus and the \nmaintenance of a clear distinction between recall and present interpretation. At its best, SR may enable \nvivid recollection of actions and decision-making, yet findings are easily compromised, meaning that SR \nprocedures must be carefully developed. \nThis presentation reports on issues that arose from a doctoral research project in which SR sessions \nwere used to identify miscommunications that occurred during the re-telling of a narrative. I discuss \na range of methodological issues and procedures related to SR. These include issues in video recording, \nthe design and focus of recall questions, inter-cultural considerations, the timing of recall prompts, face \nmanagement, access to memory types, and risks arising from certain types of direct question. A short \nvideo will illustrate the process used in the study.
