Bottom line was the average accuracy rate was 54%. Truth and lie detection studies give us on average, when you meta-analyze all of the studies, they give us an average accuracy rate of 54%. It's exactly what we found.

We found that our student observers were more accurate than our police observers, in part because the police observers kept over-believing the false confessions. And we found that the police observers were a whole lot more confident than our student observers. They were not accurate and they were confident, not a good combination. Wrongful convictions archives are filled with those mistakes.

We simply confirm that now in the laboratory.

He was a police officer in Iceland. eventually left the force and got a degree in clinical psychology. He had taken, much to his dismay, a false confession in a case and became interested in suggestibility effects.

And then he would say, I'm going to ask you a series of questions. And he would ask questions, many of which were leading and suggestive of information that was not in the story. And he measured how many of those questions do people then insert into their memory?

He would say, nope, that's not right. You got to do this again. Eventually, he became interested in both types of suggestibility. Can we cause people to change their memory by presenting misinformation embedded in questions? And then can we cause people to change their memory by giving them negative feedback?

And he found that people obeyed that order at high levels. This arbitrary order from a stranger when they were wearing a uniform at high levels. And it just goes to show something about blind obedience.

Yes, it is. The opening predicate of a police interrogation is to isolate the subject, bring them in and put them in a room alone in our station and no friends, no family members, no phones, preferably in a soundproof room where they can't hear voices and phones out there so that they're feeling isolated and alone.
