Human and Computer Decision-making in the Psychophysiological Detection of Deception

Abstract

This is the final report of a project with three objectives. Swinford (1999) described the physiological changes considered to be diagnostic of deception by the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute (DoDPI). The first objective was to assess the reliability and validity of those physiological criteria. The second was to determine which of the criteria federal polygraph examiners use to evaluate polygraph charts for probable-lie examination. The third objective was to proposed a method for combining the DoDPI criteria in order to maximize the accuracy of polygraph Decisions.
