Concerns about the validity of the comparison question test (CQT) will continue to create controversy until a well-validated theory is developed that explains how the polygraph test detects deception. One theory that provides a plausible explanation states that deceptive behavior on the CQT and corresponding physiological arousal on the polygraph are associated with neural activation in areas of the brain that process personally-relevant, emotionally-arousing information. Although the…
