Previous research has established that lie-detection accuracy decreases with age; however, various mechanisms for this effect have yet to be explored, particularly when examining the detection of children’s lies. The present study investigated if younger and older adults detect children’s lies using different cues (verbal content, verbal auditory, non-verbal, global traits) to explore if cue usage may help to explain this age-related decline.

使用全局特征线索有助于解释老年人在发现儿童谎言方面的下降

先前的研究已经确定，测谎的准确性会随着年龄的增长而降低。然而，这种影响的各种机制仍有待探索，特别是在检查儿童谎言时。本研究调查了年轻人和老年人是否使用不同的线索（语言内容、语言听觉、非语言、整体特征）来检测儿童的谎言，以探索线索的使用是否有助于解释这种与年龄相关的下降。
