Study Notes
Research and History
- The study of fear's influence on heart and respiration began in 1875 by researcher G. Stanley Hall.
- The trademark name for epinephrine is Adrenaline.
- The polygraph moved into the computer age in 1992.
Terminology and Concepts
- The generic term for a stimulation test is "provocation test."
- The organization dedicated to criminal justice and military PDD examiners is the American Polygraph Association (APA).
- The first stage of general adaptation triggered by a stressor is alarm reaction.
- The ascending portion of an arterial pulse wave is referred to as the systolic phase.
- The system of standardized steps leading to a solution is called a protocol.
- The ultimate manifestation of respiratory suppression is cessation of breathing.
- A measurable change in behavior due to an event or occurrence is called a response.
- The term describing incidence in a population is prevalence.
Polygraph Components and Mechanisms
- The recording of heart activity in PDD is known as cardiogram.
- The descending portion of an arterial pulse wave is called the diastolic phase.
- The alternate term for pulse wave and relative blood pressure tracing in PDD is plethysmogram.
- An instrument that measures heart rate is called a heart rate monitor.
- The researcher who examined respiration tracings for detecting deceptions is John Augustus Larson.
- The incorrect term for a Zone Comparison Test with two relevant questions is "dual relevant questions."
- The black zone in the Backster framework indicates a state of deception or ambiguity.
- Blocking in polygraph examinations refers to the phenomenon where an examinee avoids answering relevant questions.
Questions and Responses in Polygraph Testing
- Questions that elicit larger physiological responses from innocent examinees compared to relevant questions are known as comparison questions.
- The theory explaining PDD mechanisms through emotional responses triggered by conditioned stimuli is the Stimulus-Response Theory.
- The purpose of confirmatory testing in a PDD examination is to validate the initial findings regarding deception.
- The feature on analog polygraph recording pens for adjusting pressure on the graph paper is called the pen sensitivity control.
- The DI (Deception Indicated) decision in PDD is used to indicate significant physiological response suggestive of deception.
- A challenge of analog PDD studies includes the observer effect, where the presence of observers can alter participants' physiological responses.
- A polygraph outcome indicating no deception is termed "No Deception Indicated" (NDI).
- The primary purpose of the DI and NDI decision options in PDD is to classify the credibility of the examinee’s responses.
Understanding Deception
- The concept of deception is described as the act of deliberately misleading or providing false information.
- SPR (Significant Physiological Responses) in PDD corresponds with meaningful physiological changes indicating emotional reactions associated with deception.
