The Cognitive Approach to Lie Detection: Promises and Pitfalls
A popular contemporary idea in deception research is that lying is cognitively more demanding than truth telling, and that imposing cognitive load can improve cognition-based lie detection. Through novel work, meta-analyses, and debate, the present symposium sheds light on the promises and pitfalls of the cognitive approach to lie detection.
