Cognitive Interview 30 years of research has now demonstrated that a “cognitive interview” approach can dramatically increase the amount of correct information recalled Develop rapport and give-up control Encourage “ don’t know ” and discourage guessing Open-ended, uninterrupted recall Use mnemonic strategies (context reinstatement, varied retrieval, imagery, code-compatible output)

Credibility Assessment it turns out that the vast majority of cues are faint and unreliable (including blinking, posture, speech rate, hand movements, and eye contact) of the 12 most diagnostic cues, 9 involved verbal or story-based cues, 2 involved vocal characteristics, and only 1 focused on non-verbal behavior DePaulo et al. (2003)
Credibility Assessment verbal immediacy (-) discrepant or ambivalent information (+) amount of detail (-) uncertainty (+) overall nervousness (+) vocal tension (+) logical structure (-) plausibility (-) vocal frequency/pitch (+) negative statements/complaints (+) verbal involvement (-) contextual embedding (-) DePaulo et al.

Credibility Assessment across hundreds of studies assessing deception detection performance, accuracy was little more than flipping a coin (54%) neither professional training nor experience led to improvement in performance (though they were more confident) Bond & DePaulo (2006)
Credibility Assessment across 30 studies, training to detection deception produced a small, but significant, improvement in performance (compared with a no-training control) training on verbal cues to deception produced the most robust increase in performance, exceeding that of non-verbal and paraverbal cues Hauch et al. (2016)
Credibility Assessment two cognitive aspects of lying suggest that strategic interviewing approaches can improve detection: (1) differences in the structure of truthful vs. fabricated memories
Truthful Memories many details multiple associations picture can change quite a bit depending on perspective taken rich & complex
Fabricated Memories few details limited associations picture changes little depending upon perspective taken often dull & unelaborated
Credibility Assessment two cognitive aspects of lying suggest that strategic interviewing approaches can improve detection: (1) differences in the structure of truthful vs. fabricated memories (2) lying requires executive control (cognitive load)
Cognitive Load liars must suppress the truth, create a lie, monitor the interviewer’s responses, remember what they have said, and ensure what they report is plausible given both currently known and discoverable information truth-tellers simply must report their memories, they are less concerned with monitoring their responses or the plausibility of their story Vrij & Granhag (2012)
