Cognitive and human factors in digital forensics
Nina Sunde and Itiel Dror’s 2019 open-access article maps seven sources of cognitive and human error through the digital-forensics process. It distinguishes technical error from errors introduced by contextual information, expectations, organizational roles, and the examiner’s interpretation.
The article argues that digital forensics had paid insufficient attention to bias compared with other forensic disciplines. Suggested controls include a stricter scientific process, context management, exposure control, and compartmentalization of work.
