- W2296253368 abstract "To catch a liar: The effects of truthful and deceptive testimony on inferential learning Robert Montague 1 , Daniel J. Navarro 2 , Amy Perfors 2 , Russell Warner 1 , & Patrick Shafto 1 Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Louisville School of Psychology, University of Adelaide and focus on superficial cues to deception in one-off situations. We are interested in how deceptive interactions play out over time. For example, guilty criminal suspects often try to convince the police of their innocence. In response, police officers verify as many details of their testimony as possible and then decide whether to continue to focus on the suspect or pursue other leads. Analogously, consider a game in which a learner tries to learn a rectangular concept based on clues provided by an informant, who may be deceptive or helpful (see Figure 1). Like the police, the learner can ask the informant or gather information on their own. Like the suspect, the informant can lie or tell the truth, providing helpful or evasive information. To optimize learning, the learner must infer whether the informant is helpful or deceptive in order to decide whether to continue asking for help or gather information on his own. Learners can also verify their information by investigating different points independently. Abstract Much of what people learn is based on the testimony of others, but not all testimony is helpful. This study explores how people deceive and how they deal with deceptive information in the context of a conceptual learning task. Participants play a game in which a learner infers the location of a rectangle based on the testimony of an informant, who is either helpful or deceptive. We investigate the behavior of both informants and learners in this scenario. On the informant level, we demonstrate that people provide different information depending on whether they are helpful or deceptive. Although deceptive informants do lie outright, they more often opt to mislead. From the learner’s perspective, we show that people do choose to verify information but no more often when the informant is deceptive. Despite this, we also find that learners are capable of accurately identifying who is deceptive and who is helpful. We conclude by examining common strategies used in the two conditions and their implications in real-world settings. Keywords: Lies; Pedagogical reasoning; Testimony. Introduction Much of what people learn is based on the testimony of others. Unfortunately, not all informants are well intentioned. For example, law enforcement officials must often reconstruct a series of events based only on information obtained from witnesses and suspects, some of whom may attempt to deceive the authorities. For deceptive informants, there are many possible strategies: do they deceive by lying outright or by providing unhelpful information? Similarly for learners, do people attempt to verify a potential deceiver’s testimony? How do the results of this interaction affect people’s ability to recognize deception? Most of the research in this area has focused on people’s ability to recognize deception using its verbal and nonverbal characteristics (Brandt, Miller, & Hocking, 1982; DePaulo, Stone, & Lassiter, 1985; DeTruck & Miller, 1985; Littlepage & Pineault, 1985; Buller, Strzyzewski, & Hunsaker, 1991; Burgoon, Buller, & Floyd, 2001; Bond & DePaulo, 2006). A typical deception detection study involves participants watching video clips of people either truthfully or falsely describing an experience or opinion. Based only on that information, participants are asked to distinguish the honest statements from the lies. Most people, including police officers, judges, and psychiatrists, perform at close to chance levels (Ekman & O'Sullivan, 1991). These results typically ignore the content of the information Figure 1a Y$ Y Y$ Figure 1c Figure 1b N Y Y N Y Figure 1: The solid black line represents the rectangle presented to the informant. The task of the informant is to enable the learner to guess the rectangle by providing interior (Y) and exterior (N) points. The learner can also independently explore certain points to verify ($ indicates a verified interior point, X a verified exterior point). The broken black line represents the learner’s attempt in that trial to reproduce the informant’s rectangle. Figure 1a shows a successful cooperative strategy with verified corner hints. Figure 1b shows deceptive hints that were exposed as lies. Figure 1c shows how hints can be truthful but unhelpful. Prior studies of inferential learning suggest that an informant’s intentions affect what information they provide. In a study using the game described above, informants were instructed to provide helpful examples for their learners (Shafto & Goodman, 2008). These informants provided interior points that marked the rectangle’s corners or exterior points that marked its boundaries significantly more often than chance would predict.
