“…Consistent with the cognitive workload hypothesis, deception researchers have also found increases in pupil size associated with deception (Berrien & Huntington, 1943; Dionisio, Granholm, Hillix, & Perrine , 2001; Heilveil, 1976; Lubow & Fein, 1996). Indeed, pupil responses to statements on polygraph tests can be used to discriminate between truthful and deceptive participants (Bradley & Janisse, 1981), and may be at least as diagnostic as electrodermal responses (Webb, Honts, Bernhardt, Kircher, & Cook, 2009). Thus, we predicted that participants would show greater increases in pupil diameter in response to statements answered deceptively than to statements answered truthfully.…”
