Quote from: GiftHorse on Sep 02, 2008, 04:37 PMThis is from a 02/2/05 LAPD Polygraph Unit briefing agenda:

"In a polygraph exam, it is fear, fear of detection, fear of the consequences if the individual is detected, that causes the sympathetic system to activate in order to prepare the body to meet the emergency.  Therefore, a sense of guilt is not an essential element to activate the sympathetic system."

Thanks gift, This is the very reason that Polygraph is unreliable in detecting deception. Because as you say it detects fear which can come from many places.
I wonder if Sancho can read and comprehend this or if it is too complex or inconvenient concept for him.
When one is asked a question with possible ramifications regardless of guilt there is in many cases a reaction to said question.
This of course does not mean that the person is being deceptive. Simple, Thanks again.

Hi NG1

Somehow I dont think that SP has read the entire tome of Matte.
Hell, he never even read the NAS Polygraph Report quite evidently.

Hey Poly,
Yeah, well when he needs to promote his delusional ideas then he cannot fully inform himself or his job may be at stake.
Thanks Poly.

Thanks for sharing this tidbit. A Google search reveals that the text is lifted from James Allan Matte's book, Forensic Psychophysiology Using the Polygraph.

Any additional material you may care to share would be of interest.

The polygraph is not meant to intimidate anyone!

Just go in and cooperate with the examiner.  They are there to help.

Of course, if you go in there informed, and have the audacity to pucker your disgusting anus, then you are farting on the truth and deserve to FAIL!
