Seymour, Travis L., et al. "Using Response Time Measures to Assess Guilty Knowledge." Journal Of Applied Psychology (February 2000): pp. 30-37.Abstract: How can a suspect's guilt or innocence be reliably tested? The validity of the polygraph, which measures changes in physiological arousal during a "guilty knowledge" test, is controversial. One alternative to the polygraph examines event-related potentials recorded during a memory interference task. The present study extended this paradigm to determine whether response times (RTs) can accurately identify participants possessing specific guilty knowledge. This RT-based paradigm may be a viable alternative to the polygraph for detecting guilty knowledge.
