{"title":"From imposing cognitive load to exploiting different strategies: A reply to Brimbal et al. (2023)","authors":"Aldert Vrij,&nbsp;Sharon Leal","doi":"10.1111/lcrp.12256","DOIUrl":"10.1111/lcrp.12256","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;The reasoning behind lie detection based on imposing cognitive load is as follows. In interview settings lying is typically more mentally taxing than truth telling (Gombos, &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;; Walczyk et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). Theoretically, interviewers could exploit this difference by imposing cognitive load. This should affect lie tellers more than truth tellers because lie tellers will have fewer cognitive resources left over than truth tellers. Asking interviewees to recall their stories in reverse order is one way of imposing cognitive load. Although we (Vrij et al., &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;) and others (Evans et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;) found support for the reverse order lie detection technique, Brimbal et al. (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;) found no support. After failing to replicate our findings, Brimbal et al. (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;) conclude that there may not be sufficient evidence to train the reverse order technique in the field. We came to this conclusion in Vrij and Fisher (&lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;)—an article cited by Brimbal et al. (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;)—amongst other reasons because the accuracy rates obtained by imposing cognitive load lie detection techniques are quite low. Two meta-analyses supported this conclusion: 58% accuracy rate for truth tellers and 63% for lie tellers in Vrij et al. (&lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;) and 58.39% (total accuracy rate) in Mac Giolla and Luke (&lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). In other words, we are in full agreement with Brimbal et al. (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;) about the usefulness of using reverse order recall as an imposing cognitive load lie detection technique.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We still believe in the principle of imposing cognitive load lie detection but have difficulty translating it into a valuable lie detection technique. Apart from reverse order recall, we examined other ways to impose cognitive load, such as instructing interviewees to maintain eye contact with the interviewer (Vrij et al., &lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;) or to remember a car registration number plate during the recall (Vrij, Deeb, et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). We do not recommend introducing such techniques either. The observable differences were not particularly strong and, although we can give interviewees such imposing cognitive load instructions in the lab, we do not consider it feasible in real life. The closest we came to a successful implementation of imposing cognitive load is in a collective interviewing scenario (interviewing pairs of interviewees together) where we used the forced turn-taking technique (Vernham et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;). In forced turn-taking, the interviewer asks one interviewee to starts answering a question. After a short period of time the interviewer will then interrupt the interviewee and will ask the second interviewee to continue with the story. After again a short period of time that person is interrupted, and the first interviewee is asked to continue. Compared to lie telling pairs, truth telling pairs had more fluent continuations in their accounts, whereas","PeriodicalId":18022,"journal":{"name":"Legal and Criminological Psychology","volume":"30 1","pages":"54-57"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/lcrp.12256","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138823724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
