|
|
What is the interpersonal/behavioural control deception theory |
Simultaneous communication task, liar and person being deceiced work together to make the lie work, liars not only have to manage what they say but also the way they receive it Not all behaviours are controllable Lack of insight into our normal behaviour Concentrate on speech, behaviour is neglected |
|

|
|
Who suggested reality monitoring |
Johnson and Raye |
|
|
What is reality monitoring |
Memories either have external source (real experiences) or internal source (imagination) Internal requires cognitive operations (making stuff up e.g. i thought that...) So detecting deception by looking at cognitive operations (it must have been...) and lack of surface details |
|
|
Does reality monitoring work? |
Meta-analysis: overall predicts above chance (64-85%) H/ individual criteria differ across studies Depends where the lie comes from and what the lie is for: autobiograohical, episodic, scripted, asked to lie about certain event or generate lie, asked to create or mask an event |
|

Compares responses when subjects told to lie deliberately or tell the truth |
|
|
3 problems with polygraph |

|
What did Hartwig et al study on interviewing |
Use of evidence early/late |
|
|
How did Hartwig et al study evidence use |
Mock theft paradigm 3 pieces of evidence: witness in store, assistant saw case moved, fingerprints |
|
|
What were the results of the mock theft paradigm by Hartwig |
Late - 85% correct judgement Early - 56% correct judgement
If give evidence early on, they have the rest of the interview to construct lie |
|
|
3 issues with Hartwig et als mock theft paradigm |
50% base rate Small amount of evidence (3) Interviewee did not have to construct own deception (told how to lie) |
|
|
Who studied the tactical use of evidence |
Dando, Bull, Ormerod and Sandham |
|
|
What was the method of Dando, Bull, Ormerod and Sandhams study of tactical use or evidence |
Immersive simulation game - dodgy builders Builders/terrorist assemble equipment, some to build Olympic venue, others to blow up, construct own plan - self-generated deception Unknown ratio liars/truthtellers |
|
|
What did Dando, Bull, Ormerod and Sandhams tactical use of evience show |
Gradual use of evidence best accurate detection in both liars and truth tellers (Protects truth teller also) |
|
|
What is the current aviation security screening |
Interviewing for 'suspicious signs' Documentation and journey Behaviour and appearance |
|
|
What is a better aviation security screening |
Controlled Cognitive Engagement |
|
|
What are the 3 stages of Controlled Cognitive Engagement |
1. Baselining - build rapport, establish a behavioural baseline (What are they like) 2. Info gathering - open unpredictable questions, commit passengers to version of truth 3. Veracity testing - test truth of the account using probe questioning, observe behaviour change |
|
|
What are the cycles of CCE |
3 cycles, past present future = 6 worlds |
|
|
Results on the effectiveness of CCE |
Jan - CCE = 63%, current method - 3% June - CCE = 74%, current method - 0% |
|
|
What is the most common type of error in crime investigations |
That of decision making |
Quote by royal commission on criminal justice |
|
Case study of decision making going wrong |
Murder of Rachel Manning Boyfriend Barry White wrongly convicted Source of problems: Failure to generate evidence linking, test and simulate Decisions not made wrongly, they were decisions not made - not thought about |
|
|
6 biases that block decision making |
Confirmation bias Statistical bias Knowledge bias Metacognitive bias Social bias Strategy bias |
|
|
What is the confirmation bias |
Tendency to seek evidence likely to confirm rather than falsify their current hypothesis |
|
|
Who questioned if confirmation bias is right in police investigators |
Dando and Ormerod |
|
|
What did Dando and Ormerod find in confirmation bias |
Police officers write down all possibilities in investigations Found more experienced officers created more hypotheses, more open minded |
|
|
What is the mental models theory to decision making (Johnson-Laird) |
Individuals construct models of possibilities; the ease in which they can find these possibilities gives the success in reasoning |
|
|
Example of mental models theory |
"The victim was attacked by 2 people. One was female. What is the absolute probability that the other was female?" Logical answer = 1/3rd |
|
|
2 parts of statistical biases |
Conjunction (when people assume 2 events occuring together are more likely than each individual even occuring alone) Linda Bank teller feminist Base Rate (Tom W) |
|
|
3 parts of knowledge bias |
Belief bias Lie/truth/guilt/innocence (gen pop tend to believe gen pop, police have opposite - believe people generally guilty) Framing |
|
|
What are meta-cognivite biases |
Overconfidence/hindsight Police believe better at remembering faces Hindsight - believing everything would have been better if done properly |
|
|
Social bias |
Fundamental attribution error Attribute own success to internal causes and failure of others to internal causes Attribute own failure to external causes and success of others to external causes |
|
|
Another word for strategy bias and what it means |
Pseudo-diagnosticity What you chose to do next Peoples attempt to select evidence that should be diagnostic (is it A or is it B), end up choosing evidence that doesn't inform the decision at all |
|
|
Experiment on strategy bias/pseudo-diagnosticity |
A pottery shard found in sea between two islands A or B, has a dappled red glaze and blue clay 85% of shards found on A have dappled red glaze, can find one more bit of info to help decide People often chose what % of A has blue clay (more info on current hypothesis) Most helpful is what % of B has dappled red glaze (can increase confidence in B) |
|
|
What was the experiment on strategy bias (pseudo-diagnosticity) in investigations |
Benefit fraud Know 65% of previous cases where fraud proven, vehicles belonging to other people were registered at address Can know 2 other info: % cases where fraud proved in which a claimant shared a previous address with a potential partner % cases where claimant was shown to be innocent in which vehicles belonging to the other ppl were registered at claimants address |
|
|
Findings on benefits fraud study on strategy bias |
In simple cases, investigators show pseudo-diagnosticity (chose wrong one) In complex cases, investigators show diagnosticity (chose right one) |
|
|
What is ethnographic research |
Qualitative method where researchers observe and/or interact with a study's ppts in their real life environment |
|
|
What did an ethnographic study on insurance fraud find |
3 natures of investigative expertise Formed v complex explanations based on v little data (made up stories) More rigorous of hypothesis testing (learn to overcome confirmation bias) Better at procedural decision-making (idea of what to do next) |
|
|
Do experienced investigators search for additional info |
Yes but delayed, keep search space as small as possible and only expand when they have a specific reason to do so |

Phases of the cognitive interview |

Phases of the cognitive interview |
Establish rapport Explain aims Free recall Questioning (4 types) Vary retrieval mnemonic Investigative important questions Closure |
|
|
What are the 4 main techniques (mnemonics) to the cognitive interview |
Report everything Mentally reinstate the context Reverse the order Change the perspective |
|
|
4 types of questions |
Leading, closed, focused, open |
|
|
2 theories on the impact of reversing temporal order |
Reducing negative impact of scripts (make memory better) Vs Temporal clustering central to context maintenance and retrieval (would make memory worse) |
|
|
How was reversing temporal order tested |
Mock crime witness- video of mobile theft |
|
|
What was found about reversing temporal order |
Reverse order both reduced recall and increased confabulations compared to free recall |
|
|
What are the 3 theories of the effect of mental reinstatement of context |
Encoding specifity principle (Tulving) Vs Deficits in episodic memory in individuals wirh Autistic Spectrum Disorder (MRC demands language and concurrent processing abilities ASD find difficult) |
|
|
What was the method of testing the success of mental reinstatement of context |
Unguided mental reinstatement of context Vs Sketch reinstatement of context |
|
|
What was the results of mental reinstatement of context |
Autistic spectrum disorder worse in mental reinstatement, however not worse in sketch group (improved in sketch) |
