Tests during criminal investigations (调查). But the test results are not always correct. When the police asked a person questions important to a criminal case, a fast heartbeat or sweaty hands might make a nervous truth-teller appear to be lying. And, an experienced liar might be able to control those signs and avoid suspicion (怀疑).
Our eyes look at a familiar face differently than they look at an unfamiliar one. When people look at unfamiliar faces, their eyes usually move from one feature, like the shape of the nose, to other features. Their eyes stop quickly as they try to identify the unknown person. When looking at a familiar face, people usually direct their attention to just a few features. But the researchers want to know if people could change those when they are hiding the truth.
The researchers showed 48 students pictures of both strangers and professors they knew. They asked all of the students to try to appear honest while they were lying about recognizing familiar faces. The researchers told some students to stop in the same areas when they were looking at both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Their eyes would start on the person's forehead. Next, they looked at each eye, and then moved from one ear to the other, then down to the nose, mouth and chin.
In most cases, the students who tried to hide their recognition were not able to do so. When they looked at a familiar face, their eyes still had fewer stops in the inner parts of the face. Alisa Millen, a psychology researcher at the University of Stirling, said hiding markers for facial recognition in eye movements is difficult, especially if you know that person well. She added the more the students tried to hide recognition of a face, the more obvious it was. Millen hopes that the findings can someday be used in law enforcement (执法). She believes such knowledge could help investigators have a clearer understanding of who is connected to whom in a criminal case.
