The study compared, in a within‐subjects design, the effect on electrodermal responsiveness of the subject affirming, denying, or making no response to questions about the card selected in a laboratory test of deception. Contrary to previous findings, denying that a card had been selected led to greater responsiveness and an increased likelihood of correct detection.
