Abstract

Research has long recognized that humans have many biases andshortcomings that severely limit our ability to accurately detect deception. Howcan we improve our deception detection ability? One possible method is totrain individuals to recognize cues of deception. To do this, we need to createeffective training curricula and educational tools. This paper describes how weused existing research to guide the design and development of a Web-based,multimedia training system called Agent99 Trainer to provide effective deceptiondetection training. The Agent99 Trainer system integrates explicit instructionon the cues of deception, detection experience through practice, and immediatefeedback with anytime, anywhere Web access. Our initial experimentsshow that our training improves human deception detection accuracy and theAgent99 Trainer system provides training as effective as instructor-led lecturebasedtraining.
