Baselining Affects the Production of Deceptive Narratives
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Tomas, Frédéric; Dodier, Olivier; Demarchi, Samuel – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Recent research shows that the quality of a baseline (i.e., the analysis of one's behavior in normal conditions) decreases when the second narrative is expected and deceitful. However, a first step would be to investigate whether the writing of a first narrative might influence the second, independently of its expectancy. In this study, we…

Gan Jin; Onur Ramazan; Robert William Danielson – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
As educators, we often seek to engage students' prior knowledge to help them learn new and potentially difficult science content. However, sometimes our experiences with the world lead us to create misconceptions that run counter to the scientific consensus. Refutational texts have been shown to be more effective at changing individuals'…

Bird, Lisa; Gretton, Matthew; Cockerell, Robert; Heathcote, Andrew – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
Lying is assumed to increase cognitive load, and it has been shown to slow response times to simple questions. We employed a dual-task methodology, the detection response task (DRT), to assess cognitive load in telling narrative lies in a live, open-question interview. The DRT requires participants to press a button in response to a tactile…

Mitre-Hernandez, Hugo; Sanchez-Rodriguez, Jorge; Zatarain-Cabada, Ramon; Barron-Estrada, Lucia – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
Lying requires a long-term memory search and is a cognitive load task. Telling a spontaneous lie is associated with a higher cognitive load compared with the truth, although when memories are planned before telling a lie, the cognitive load can be less compared with the truth; therefore, telling a spontaneous lie could be associated with a higher…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Wyman, Joshua; Foster, Ida; Crossman, Angela; Colwell, Kevin; Talwar, Victoria – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
The current study evaluated the benefits of free-recall, cognitive load, and closed-ended questions on children's (ages 6 to 11; N = 147) true and false eyewitness disclosures. Children witnessed an experimenter find a stranger's wallet and were then asked to make a false denial, false accusation, true denial, or true accusation regarding an…

A System of Deception and Fraud Detection Using Reliable Linguistic Cues Including Hedging, Disfluencies, and Repeated Phrases
Direct linkDirect link
Humpherys, Sean LaMarc – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Given the increasing problem of fraud, crime, and national security threats, assessing credibility is a recurring research topic in Information Systems and in other disciplines. Decision support systems can help. But the success of the system depends on reliable cues that can distinguish deceptive/truthful behavior and on a proven classification…
