Direct linkMattavelli, Simone; Corneille, Olivier; Unkelbach, Christian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Past research indicates that people judge repeated statements as more true than new ones. An experiential consequence of repetition that may underly this "truth effect" is processing fluency: Processing statements feels easier following their repetition. In three preregistered experiments (N = 684), we examined the effect of merely…

Bogaard, Glynis; Meijer, Ewout H.; Van der Plas, Irina – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
The present experiment investigated to what extent providing participants with a model statement influences the ability of the verifiability approach to detect deception. Participants gave a true and false statement about a negative autobiographical event, with half of the participants receiving a detailed model statement just before giving their…

A prominent and long-standing theory of eyewitness identification decision making distinguishes between "absolute judgments," based on the lineup members' match to the witness's memory of the perpetrator, versus "relative judgments," based on match values relative to other lineup members. This distinction was implemented in a…

Recent research has shown that incorrect statements in eyewitness testimonies contain more cues to effortful memory retrieval than correct statements. In two experiments, we attempted to improve judgments of testimony accuracy by informing participants about these effort cues. Participants read eyewitness testimony transcripts and judged statement…

Tangen, Jason M.; Kent, Kirsty M.; Searston, Rachel A. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2020
When a fingerprint is located at a crime scene, a human examiner is counted upon to manually compare this print to those stored in a database. Several experiments have now shown that these professional analysts are highly accurate, but not infallible, much like other fields that involve high-stakes decision-making. One method to offset mistakes in…

Bogaard, Glynis; Meijer, Ewout H. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
In this study, we investigated whether people who hold more correct beliefs about verbal cues to deception are also better lie detectors. We investigated police officers and undergraduates' beliefs about (i) cues to deception via an open-ended question and (ii) 17 specific verbal cues, after which participants were asked to judge the truthfulness…
