“…For example, they used stimulus consisting of words, but not images. Many studies have suggested the picture superiority effect (Buckner et al, 2000) that pictures are better recalled than words and better recollected when cued with a fragment only (McBride and Dosher, 2002; Cutmore et al, 2009). Given these, it appears to be reasonable to use image stimuli for a GKT in a VE than word stimuli.…”

The study aimed to investigate whether a combination of the P3-based Guilty Knowledge Test (GKT) and reality monitoring (RM) distinguished between individuals who are guilty, witnesses, or informed, and using both tests provided more accurate information than did the use of either measure alone. Participants consisted of 45 males that were randomly and evenly assigned to three groups (i.e., guilty, witness, and informed). The guilty group conducted a mock crime where they intentionally crashed their vehicle into another vehicle in a virtual environment (VE). As those in the witness group drove their own vehicles, they observed the guilty groups' vehicle crash into another vehicle. The informed group read an account and saw screenshots of the accident. All participants were instructed to insist that they were innocent. Subsequently, they performed the P3-based GKT and wrote an account of the accident for the RM analysis. A higher P3 amplitude corresponded to how well the participants recognized the presented stimulus, and a higher RM score corresponded to how well the participants reported vivid sensory information and how much less they reported uncertain information. Findings for the P3-based GKT indicated that the informed group showed lower P3 amplitude when presented with the probe stimulus than did the guilty and witness groups. Regarding the RM analysis, the informed group obtained higher RM scores on visual, temporal, and spatial details and lower scores on cognitive operations than the guilty and witness groups. Finally, discriminant analysis revealed that the combination of the P3-based GKT and RM more accurately distinguished between the three groups than the use of either measure alone. The findings suggest that RM may build upon a weakness of the P3-based GKT's. More specifically, it may build upon its susceptibility to the leakage of information about the crime, therefore helping protect innocent individuals who have information about a crime from being perceived as guilty.

“…The authors show that RT tests can reliably detect concealed knowledge in both conditions. Indirect evidence from an event‐related potential study of deception detection also suggests that pictures of objects may have a better discriminative power than words in a similar oddball paradigm (Cutmore, Djakovic, Kebbell & Shum, ). Moreover, looking at common practice in the field, the Japanese police use the CIT testing format exclusively (Nakayama, ); visual stimuli are frequently used in this real‐life forensic examinations consisting in photographs, maps, floor plans etc.…”

Executive functioning has been shown to play an essential role in a person's ability to accurately and efficiently execute deceptive responses. The present study relates individual differences in executive functions and anxiety to the accuracy and latency of deceptive responses in a reaction time (RT)-based Concealed Information Test with pictorial stimuli extracted from a mock crime scenario. Results indicated that the pictorial RT-based Concealed Information Test successfully differentiated between guilty and innocent participants. In terms of executive functions, set-shifting and inhibition were directly related to deception accuracy and speed, respectively. However, enhanced underlying working memory skills (both verbal and spatial) were associated with longer RTs for item classification. No strong associations were noted with anxiety dimensions. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to neurocognitive models of deception and to the process of deception detection.

“…(Actually, in one of our unpublished studies where instead of the written labels the photographs of the stolen items were used, the proportion of the subjects for whom P300 showed reliable effects of deception increased to 77%.) For example, it is true that the P300 response is stronger for more realistic stimulus material (Ambach et al, 2010;Cutmore et al, 2009). Abstract words used in our experiment may not have been optimal for guaranteeing very high sensitivity of the P300 in response to seeing a critical item.…”

Objective: Quite many studies have revealed certain brain-process signatures indicative of subject's deceptive behavior. These signatures are neural correlates of deception. However, much less is known about whether these signatures can be modified by noninvasive brain stimulation techniques representing methods of causal intervention of brain processes and the corresponding behavior. Our purpose was to explore whether such methods have an effect on these signatures. Methods:It is well known that electroencephalographic event-related potential component, P300, is sensitive to perception of critical items in a concealed information test, one of the central methods in deception studies. We examined whether the relative level of expression of P300 as a neural marker of deception can be manipulated by means of noninvasive neuromodulation. We used EEG/ERP recording combined with (i) neuronavigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and (ii) concealed information detection test. An opportunistically recruited volunteer group of normal adults formed our experimental group. Results:We show that offline rTMS to dorsolateral prefrontal cortex attenuated relative P300 amplitude in response to the critical items compared to the neutral items. Conclusion:Noninvasive prefrontal cortex excitability disruption by rTMS can be used to manipulate the sensitivity of ERP signatures of deception to critical items in a concealment-based variant of lie detection test.
