The Deceptive Human and the Detection of Deception

Journal Title: European Polygraph - Year 2017, Vol 40, Issue 2

Abstract

Lying is a complex process. Unlike the truth teller that just has to retrieve information from his memory, a liar has to cover up the true story, make up a convincing fi ctitious version, memorise it, cover up his fear of detection and so forth. All these put a mental burden on his mind, a burden that produces the deceptive cues and signs that we are looking for. Yet caution should be taken when looking for these cues; simply because lying per se does not produce any physical and/or psychological and/or behavioural cues or signs. What produces the cues are the emotions that accompany the lie.
