Do Lie Detector Tests Really Work? - Psychology Today Do Lie Detector Tests Really Work? - Psychology Today Posted: 14 Jan 2020 12:00 AM PST In February of 1994, the FBI arrested Aldrich Ames, who had been a CIA employee for 31 years. Ames was arrested and charged with espionage. He was a Russian spy. For nine years, he had been passing secrets to the Russians in exchange for over $1.3 million. His spying activities had compromised dozens of CIA and FBI operations. Worse yet, his treacherous crimes had led to the deaths of several CIA spies and the imprisonment of many more. During the time that Aldrich Ames was operating as a Russian spy, the CIA had twice given him a lie detector test. Despite having no special training in how to defeat a lie detector test, Aldrich passed both times.   Source: wikimedia The modern polygraph, better known as the "lie detector test," is a fascinating little instrument with a l...

Letter: Lie detector tests at debates? - Northwest Herald Letter: Lie detector tests at debates? - Northwest Herald Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT To the Editor: We are all familiar with the hyperbole that goes along with campaigning. Often this turns into an outright lie, especially when one side is attacking the other. Sadly, we have come to accept most of this dishonesty as normal - that's just what politicians do. I've got an idea that neither side would accept but that would be refreshing and eye-opening to the voters. Hook up the wannabe public servants to an old fashioned polygraph*. If at no other time, how about just for the presidential and vice-presidential debates. Or how about some sort of polygraph certification for the "I approve of this message" media ads Neither party's candidates would fare very well under this pressure, but since we're getting used to picking from the lesser of t...

An online lie detector - Axios An online lie detector - Axios Posted: 20 Mar 2019 12:00 AM PDT Researchers at Florida State University and Stanford are developing an "online polygraph" that detects lies in text — without the contextual clues that can hint at deception in a face-to-face conversation. Details: In experiments, the researchers found that liars used more florid prose and often expressed certainty, while truth-tellers responded more slowly and with words like "perhaps," "guess" and "could." They designed a machine learning system that can pick up on these subtle cues to correctly separate out liars from truth-tellers about three-quarters of the time. The results were published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior . "You could use it for online dating, Facebook, Twitter — the applications are endless," says FSU researcher Shuyuan Ho, the paper's lead author, in an art...
