Gudjonsson Disclosure Schema

The Gudjonsson Disclosure Schema is a psychological tool used to understand how people remember and share information, particularly in legal contexts. It assesses how individuals disclose their memories about events, including crimes or significant incidents. This structure helps professionals, like police and psychologists, better evaluate the accuracy and completeness of a person's recollections. By analyzing factors like memory retrieval and the context of disclosure, the schema aids in determining whether a person’s account is reliable and comprehensive, ultimately contributing to fairer investigations and results in legal situations.
