Combining individuating and context-general cues in lie detection (2024)
Presentation / Conference
Peebles, D. (2024, July). Combining individuating and context-general cues in lie detection. Presented at 46th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, Rotterdam, Netherlands

To date, no account of lie-truth judgement formation has been capable of explaining how core cognitive mechanisms such as memory encoding and retrieval are employed to reach a judgement of either truth or lie. One account, the Adaptive Lie Detector t... Read More about Combining individuating and context-general cues in lie detection.

Lie–truth judgments: adaptive lie detector account and truth-default theory compared and contrasted (2024)
Journal Article
Levine, T. R., & Street, C. N. H. (in press). Lie–truth judgments: adaptive lie detector account and truth-default theory compared and contrasted. Communication Theory, Article qtae008. https://doi.org/10.1093/ct/qtae008

Two contemporary theoretical perspectives explain when and how people make lie–truth judgments. The adaptive lie detector account (ALIED) and truth-default theory (TDT) are described, compared, and contrasted. ALIED and TDT come from different schola...

A test of the micro‐expressions training tool: Does it improve lie detection? (2019)
Journal Article
Jordan, S., Brimbal, L., Wallace, D. B., Kassin, S. M., Hartwig, M., & Street, C. N. (2019). A test of the micro‐expressions training tool: Does it improve lie detection?. Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling, 16(3), 222-235. https://doi.org/10.1002/jip.1532

The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of the micro-expressions training tool (METT) in identifying and using micro-expressions to improve lie detection. Participants (n = 90) were randomly assigned to receive training in micro-exp... Read More about A test of the micro‐expressions training tool: Does it improve lie detection?.

Aligning Spinoza with Descartes: An informed Cartesian account of the truth bias (2016)
Journal Article
Street, C. N. H., & Kingstone, A. (2017). Aligning Spinoza with Descartes: An informed Cartesian account of the truth bias. British Journal of Psychology, 108(3), 453-466. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjop.12210

There is a bias towards believing information is true rather than false. The Spinozan account claims there is an early, automatic bias towards believing. Only afterwards can people engage in an effortful re-evaluation and disbelieve the information.... Read More about Aligning Spinoza with Descartes: An informed Cartesian account of the truth bias.

Can the Unconscious Boost Lie-Detection Accuracy? (2016)
Journal Article
Street, C. N. H., & Vadillo, M. A. (2016). Can the Unconscious Boost Lie-Detection Accuracy?. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 25(4), 246-250. https://doi.org/10.1177/0963721416656348

Recently, a variety of methods have been used to show that unconscious processes can boost lie-detection accuracy. This article considers the latest developments in the context of research into unconscious cognition. Unconscious cognition has been un...

ALIED: Humans as adaptive lie detectors. (2015)
Journal Article
Street, C. N. H. ALIED: Humans as adaptive lie detectors. Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, 4(4), 335-343. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jarmac.2015.06.002

People make for poor lie detectors. They have accuracy rates comparable to a coin toss, and come with a set of systematic biases that sway the judgment. This pessimistic view stands in contrast to research showing that people make informed decisions... Read More about ALIED: Humans as adaptive lie detectors..

Descartes versus Spinoza: Truth, bias, and uncertainty (2015)
Journal Article
Street, C. N. H., & Richardson, D. C. (2015). Descartes versus Spinoza: Truth, bias, and uncertainty. Social Cognition, 33(3), 227-239. https://doi.org/10.1521/soco.2015.33.2.2

To comprehend a statement, do people first have to believe it is true? Spinoza argued yes, that people initially assume the truth of a statement and later revise if necessary. Descartes thought otherwise, that understanding comes prior to accepting o... Read More about Descartes versus Spinoza: Truth, bias, and uncertainty.

A simple algorithm for the offline recalibration of eye-tracking data through best-fitting linear transformation (2015)
Journal Article
Vadillo, M. A., Street, C. N. H., Beesley, T., & Shanks, D. R. (2015). A simple algorithm for the offline recalibration of eye-tracking data through best-fitting linear transformation. Behavior Research Methods, 47(4), 1365-1376. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-014-0544-1

Poor calibration and inaccurate drift correction can pose severe problems for eye-tracking experiments requiring high levels of accuracy and precision. We describe an algorithm for the offline correction of eye-tracking data. The algorithm conducts a...
