Abstract: Reckless and knowing states of mind are examples of legally defined mental states, which are involved in the assessment of criminal culpability. Participants completed a novel decision-making task that elicited these mental states, followed by interviews about their behavior. Findings have implications for evaluating mental state testimony in legal contexts.
