Laboratory research on physiological measures for detecting deception is reviewed and evaluated.
Abstract
The general problems encountered in making inferences about truth and deception from physiological recordings are described, and various methods for designing tests of deception are explained and evaluated in light of these problems. The review concludes that a number of cardiovascular, electrodermal, and respiratory measures have been shown to be effective in discriminating between truth and deception. Other promising measures are identified, along with suggestions for conducting laboratory research that will be maximally generalizable field applications of detection of deception.
