Lie Detection Finals Notes

Chart marking is an important part of polygraph examinations. It involves marking tracings from a polygraph chart paper to interpret physiological responses like respiration, electrodermal activity, and heart rate. There are normal responses seen in irrelevant questions and specific responses that deviate from the norm in relevant questions. Chart markings help examiners interpret the results and draw conclusions.

What is Chart Marking?

 It is one of the most important things in the conduct of


polygraph examination because it assists the examiner in
interpreting and evaluating the test result.
 Without these markings the examiner will find it difficult to
interpret the tracings which will be the basis in drawing-out
conclusions and recommendations.
Signs and symbols commonly used in Chart Marking
Polygraph Chart Paper or Polygram
 It's about 100 feet long, 6 to 8 inches in width with one and a
half or .5-inch top and bottom margins.
 The chart Polygram is interpreted based on the response of the
subject.
 Include respiratory rate, electrodermal activity and Cardio
activity.
 Respiratory Rate= Pneumo Tracing, breathing of examinee
 Electrodermal Activity= Sweating of fingertips
 Cardio Activity= Blood Pressure, Heart Rate
2 KINDS OF RESPONSES
(1) Normal Response
 Refers to the tracing of responses on the chart which does not
deviates from the norms of the subject's psycho-physiological
response the subject and usually appears when the subject is
being of irrelevant questions.
(2) Specific Response
 Refers to any deviation from the normal tracing of the subject
in the relevant and control questions.
Legal and Ethical Issues in Polygraph Testing
 In most states in the United States, polygraph evidence is
admitted (or not admitted) on a case-by-case basis.
Can a person be forced to be subjected for a polygraph test?
 No, because a person has the right to choose whether to take
it or not.
Law or Jurisprudence that gives the basis of polygraph
admissibility
 Frye V. United States (1923)- The accused (on trial for
murder) offered as evidence the results of a Marston “systolic”
blood pressure test. *California and Florida (admissible), New
York, Texas and Pennsylvania (inadmissible)
 People vs. Amado Daniel (Rape Case,1978)- The Supreme
Court quoted that “the efficacy of the polygraph depends upon
the time, place and the circumstances when taken and the
nature of the subject” *The court excluded the result of the
polygraph examination, for the reason that the polygraph has
not as yet attain scientific acceptance as a reliable and accurate
means of ascertaining truth or deception.
COLLATERAL ASPECT OF POLYGRAPH
1. Pre-Employment Screening- it provides a safe method in
verifying statements of a job applicant.
2. Periodic Screening- Conducted to organic employees only.
(Personnel Check)
3. Intelligence Testing- Provide a scientific method of testing
the intelligence of a person.
Psychological Stress Evaluator (PSE)
 When a person speaks, there are audible voice frequencies,
and superimposed on these are the inaudible frequency
modulations which are products of minute oscillations of the
muscles of the voice mechanisms. *The psychological stress
evaluator detects, measures, and graphically displays the voice
modulation we cannot hear.
