“…Research has linked deception to the prefrontal cortex [25] , a brain region that has also been linked to inhibition [26] . More specifically, the inferior frontal gyrus has been linked to both inhibition and deception [27] . In a similar vein, a study associated activation in the right inferior frontal gyrus during a deception task to inhibitory processes, and suggested that neural markers of inhibition can predict how well one lies [28] .…”

Background: Deception can be associated with a heterogeneous network of concepts such as exaggeration, misleading, white lies, and faking. This paper assesses the tendency to deceive in aging. Objective: Our main aim was to assess whether older adults would demonstrate a low tendency to deceive. Methods: A total of 42 older adults (mean age 67.64 years, SD 7.87) and 45 younger adults (mean age 21.71 years, SD 2.66) were administered a deception scale including items such as “I sometimes tell lies if I have to” or “I never take things that don't belong to me.” Participants were also administered an inhibition task. Results: The results demonstrated a low tendency to deceive and low inhibition in older adults compared with younger ones. The low tendency to deceive in the older adults was significantly correlated with their diminished inhibitory ability. Discussion: The low tendency to deceive in aging seems to be related to a difficulty in inhibiting an honest response. Since inhibitory compromise has been considered mainly to trigger negative consequences for cognition, the present paper illustrates how this age-related compromise can be associated with positive social outcomes, i.e., a low tendency to deceive.

“…Deceptive responses activated primarily prefrontal cortex. In another study, a group of subjects fired a gun and were told to lie about doing it (Mohamed et al, 2006). In this case, the only frontal activation was in the anterior cingulate cortex, while much of the activation was posterior, in ventral and left lateral occipital visual areas.…”

“…A number of studies have used functional MRI (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) to identify the neural substrate supporting deceptive behavior. These have used a number of deceptive tasks and scenarios, including guilty knowledge tasks (GKT: Langleben et al, 2002Langleben et al, , 2005Phan et al, 2005), mock crime scenarios (Kozel, Padgett, & George, 2004;Kozel et al, 2005;Mohamed et al, 2006), feigned memory impairment (Lee et al, 2002(Lee et al, , 2005, and autobiographical or experienced events (Abe et al, 2006;Abe, Suzuki, Mori, Itoh, & Fujii, 2007;Ganis, Kosslyn, Stose, Thompson, & Yurgelun-Todd, 2003;Nuň ez, Casey, Egner, Harre, & Hirsch, 2005;Spence et al, 2001).…”

Tools for noninvasive stimulation of the brain, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have provided new insights in the study of brain-behavior relationships due to their ability to directly alter cortical activity. In particular, TMS and tDCS have proven to be useful tools for establishing causal relationships between behavioral and brain imaging measures. As such, there has been interest in whether these tools may represent novel technologies for deception detection by altering a person's ability to engage brain networks involved in conscious deceit. Investigation of deceptive behavior using noninvasive brain stimulation is at an early stage. Here we review the existing literature on the application of noninvasive brain stimulation in the study of deception. Whether such approaches could be usefully applied to the detection of deception by altering a person's ability to engage brain networks involved in conscious deceit remains to be validated. Ethical and legal consequences of the development of such a technology are discussed.

“…Spence et al discovered activation in ventrolateral, dorsomedial, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices (VLPFC, DMPFC, and DLPFC, respectively), as well as the inferior parietal lobule (IPL), during deceptive relative to normal responding for both auditory and visual stimuli. These regions have been commonly associated with deceptive responding in fMRI studies that followed and appear to reflect the generation and inhibition of responses, increased working memory load, meta-cognition of task performance, and monitoring of social cues necessary to deceive others [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. With the exception of two studies to be discussed below [17,23], the bulk of neuroimaging and ERP investigations into deceptive behavior have focused upon the neuroanatomical correlates involved in the suppression of prior knowledge by employing methodological variations of the Guilty Knowledge Test (GKT) [27].…”

Neuroanatomical correlates of malingered memory impairment: Event-related fMRI of deception on a recognition memory task

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Primary objective-Event-related, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were acquired in healthy participants during purposefully malingered and normal recognition memory performances to evaluate the neural substrates of feigned memory impairment.Methods and procedures-Pairwise, between-condition contrasts of neural activity associated with discrete recognition memory responses were conducted to isolate dissociable neural activity between normal and malingered responding while simultaneously controlling for shared stimulus familiarity and novelty effects. Response timing characteristics were also examined for any association with observed between-condition activity differences.Outcomes and results-Malingered recognition memory errors, regardless of type, were associated with inferior parietal and superior temporal activity relative to normal performance, while feigned recognition target misses produced additional dorsomedial frontal activation and feigned foil false alarms activated bilateral ventrolateral frontal regions. Malingered response times were associated with activity in the dorsomedial frontal, temporal, and inferior parietal regions. Normal memory responses were associated with greater inferior occipitotemporal and dorsomedial parietal activity, suggesting greater reliance upon visual/attentional networks for proper task performance.Conclusions-The neural substrates subserving feigned recognition memory deficits are influenced by response demand and error type, producing differential activation of cortical regions important to complex visual processing, executive control, response planning, and working memory processes.
