Abstract
First-person reports are important in the study of human inner experience. However, first-person reports are said to be similar to eyewitness testimony, which is unreliable. What lessons can be learned from the unreliability of eyewitness testimony that might improve the reliability of first-person reports? Descriptive experience sampling incorporates those lessons.
