The Reliability of Recall Data: a Literature Review
Abstract
La Fiabilité des données de mémoire - Analyse de la littérature scientifique. Cet article analyse la littérature qui tente de tester la fiabilité et la validité des données de mémoire. principalement en ce qui concerne la vie et la carrière professionnelle des individus. Il est important que les concepteurs et analystes d'enquêtes comprennent les contraints de la collecte de données de mémoires fiables et les niveaux de qualité des données collectées. Les références présentées viennent plutôt de scientifiques universitaires en sciences sociales aux Etats-Unis et en Grande-Bretagne, mais aussi de chercheurs gouvernementaux et de psychologues. Les principaux objectifs de l'article sont de présenter l'état des connaissances sur la fiabilité des divers types de données de mémoire et de fournir des informations concernant les choix opérationnels que les concepteurs et les analystes d'enquête doivent faire. Dans ce but, les méthodes, qui ont été utilisées pour tester la validité et la fiabilité des données de mémoire, sont présentées, évaluées et mises en ordre. Dans la pratique, il est très difficile de tester la validité des données de mémoire, mais il y a un certain nombre de méthodes pour en tester la fiabilité.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
