Episode 141: Psychology Gets Smart: A New Kind of Lie Detector?

from Psychology in Everyday Life: The Psych Files · host Michael Britt

You've probably heard that the so called "Lie Detector" test (the polygraph)doesn't actually detect when you've lied, but rather just takes some physiological measures from your body and these have to be interpreted by experts.  Sometimes those experts make mistakes.  Join me as I describe a psychological study that tested a new kind of "Lie Detector" - drawings.  This study involved Agents, Missions, an Interception, and a mysterious "package".  This is psychology?  You better believe it.
