The heterogeneous processes of cheating: Attention evidence from two eye tracking experiments (2020)
Journal Article

Dishonesty erodes society. Although much is known about dishonesty, the process leading up to the decision of whether to be honest or dishonest is often assumed to be homogenous and is not well understood. In this paper, we take a more nuanced approa... Read More about The heterogeneous processes of cheating: Attention evidence from two eye tracking experiments.

A test of the micro‐expressions training tool: Does it improve lie detection? (2019)
Journal Article

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

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

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

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..

The focal account: Indirect lie detection need not access unconscious, implicit knowledge. (2015)
Journal Article

People are poor lie detectors, but accuracy can be improved by making the judgment indirectly. In a typical demonstration, participants are not told that the experiment is about deception at all. Instead, they judge whether the speaker appears, say,... Read More about The focal account: Indirect lie detection need not access unconscious, implicit knowledge..

Descartes Versus Spinoza: Truth, Uncertainty, and Bias (2015)
Journal Article

A simple algorithm for the offline recalibration of eye-tracking data through best-fitting linear transformation (2015)
Journal Article

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...

Are you hiding something from me? Uncertainty and judgments about the intentions of others (2014)
Conference Proceeding

We are skilled at reading other’s intentions –until they try to hide them. We are biased towards taking at face value what others say, but it is not clear why. One possibility is that we are uncertain, and make the decision by relying... Read More about Are you hiding something from me? Uncertainty and judgments about the intentions of others.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Expectations: How Base Rates Inform Lie-Truth Judgments: Base rate beliefs in lie detection (2014)
Journal Article

We are biased towards thinking that people are telling the truth. Our study represents the first test of how beliefs about the base rate of truths and lies affect this truth bias. Raters were told either 20, 50 or 80% of the speakers would be telling...
