Graph the cell means with Factor A on the X-axis and separate lines for each level of Factor B.

As we can see from the graph, the lines are parallel. This is consistent with our failure to reject the Null Hypothesis for our test of the interaction between A x B. Thus, we can go ahead and interpret each of the main effects. Memory was better in the less severe crime circumstance. Perhaps the arousal/stress of witnessing a serious crime affects our ability to recall specific details. Memory was also better in the immediate recall condition rather than delayed recall.
