Outsmarting the Liars: Toward a Cognitive Lie Detection Approach

conceptual metaphor and the acquisition of english metaphorical competence by persian english majors: a cognitive linguistic approach

بنا براستدلال زبانشناسان شناختی ، اندیشه آدمی تا حدّ زیادی استعاری است: ما اندیشه ای را، و یا قلمرو مفهومی معیّنی را، بر حسب اندیشه و یا قلمرو مفهومی معیّن دیگری درک ویا تجربه می کنیم. موارد این نوع اندیشیدن ، که استعارات مفهومی خوانده می شوند، در زبان های گوناگون به صورت تعبیرات استعاری واقعیّت می یابند. به گمان بعضی از پزوهشگران زبان دوم، آموزش وفراگیری این گونه تعبیرات باید بخشی لازم از برنامه ه...

Lie Detection Using fNIRS Monitoring of Inhibition-Related Brain Regions Discriminates Infrequent but not Frequent Liars

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to test whether monitoring inhibition-related brain regions is a feasible method for detecting both infrequent liars and frequent liars. Thirty-two participants were divided into two groups: the deceptive group (liars) and the non-deceptive group (ND group, innocents). All the participants were required to undergo a simulated interrogation ...

Toward a cognitive approach to urban dynamics

`A cognitive approach to urban dynamics' is proposed in this paper as a theorization of the dynamics of cities from the first principles of humans' cognitive capabilities. The aim is to initiate a discussion concerning the potential of such an approach. This is done by examining some of the cognitive processes that are relevant to cities and their dynamics, by considering some conceptual and me...

Advancing Lie Detection by Inducing Cognitive Load on Liars: A Review of Relevant Theories and Techniques Guided by Lessons from Polygraph-Based Approaches

This article critically reviews techniques and theories relevant to the emerging field of "lie detection by inducing cognitive load selectively on liars." To help these techniques benefit from past mistakes, we start with a summary of the polygraph-based Controlled Question Technique (CQT) and the major criticisms of it made by the National Research Council (2003), including that it not based o...
