Summary
"[This book] focuses on how legal professionals, legal/forensic psychologists, and memory researchers can decide when statements or identifications are based on truthful or fabricated experiences and whether one can distinguish between lies, deception, and false memories. The contributors ... assemble recent experimental work and case studies in which deception or false memory plays a dominant role. Topics discussed relate to the susceptibility to suggestive pressure (e.g., 'under which circumstances are children or adults the most vulnerable to suggestion?'), the fabrication of symptoms (e.g., 'how to detect whether PTSD symptoms are malingered?'), and the detection of deceit (e.g., 'which paradigms are promising in deception detection?'), among others. By using this approach, this volume unites diverse streams of research (i.e., deception, malingering, false memory) that are involved in the reliability of eyewitness statements."-- Back cover.
