Translating theory into practice: Evaluating a cognitive lie detection training workshop

摘要: Abstract A training workshop utilising the most up to date research in cognitive lie detection was designed and evaluated. For this evaluation, 27 experienced police detectives each interviewed one mock-suspect (a truth teller or liar) before another after training. Different mock-crimes were used pre- post interviews. The free interview any way they felt appropriate but asked try incorporate (some of) taught techniques post-training made veracity judgements interviews transcribed coded for amount of detail elicited questions asked. Trainees’ ability distinguish tellers from liars improved, so did percentage Trainees not implement an equal extent, when used, enhanced elicitation information discrimination between liars. study also revealed challenges, particularly difficulty implementing into practice (detectives often thought had fact them as been shown do) asking right elicit differences
