Memory recall 'better when eyes shut'

Closing your eyes when trying to recall events increases the chances of accuracy, researchers at the University of Surrey suggest.
Scientists tested people's ability to remember details of films showing fake crime scenes.

They hope the studies will help witnesses recall details more accurately when questioned by police.

They say establishing a rapport with the person asking the questions can also help boost memory.
