Participants were asked to deceive by pretending that some of the items they \"owned\" have been paid for even though they were stolen. Analysis of participants' streaming x-, y- mouse coordinates, during decision-making suggested that movement trajectories might indeed reveal underlying cognitive processes during deception. Statistical indicators of curvature and reaction times, including area-under- the-curve (AUC) and maximum deviation (MD) implied that there was as greater cognitive competition during deceptive than during truthful responding. Deceptive responds were made more slowly, with a stronger curvature tendency towards the alternate truthful answer. Non-deceptive responding was associated with shorter reaction times and more linear response trajectories. This supports prior research indicating that action dynamic measures might capture deceptive processes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45562865746071,"sku":"9783656329305","price":1893.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783656329305.webp?v=1767465189","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-honest-hand-how-computer-mouse-trajectories-might-capture-deceptive-processes-9783656329305","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
