Preferred term

detection of deception: nonverbal cues  

Definition(s)

  • Trying to find a tell-tale sign of deceit (a “Pinocchio's nose”) in human nonverbal behavior has been the subject of much effort, and many suggestions have been put forward. In lay people's thinking and in police interrogation manuals alike, one can find numerous ideas about detecting deceit from nonverbal behaviors such as eye contact or gestures.
