Assessment of Psychophysiological Detection of Deception (PDD) Pretest; Final rept. 6 Jun 2006 to 7 Jun 2007

摘要

The Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment (DACA) Research Division contracted with Battelle to conduct scientific research to determine the relationship between the content of the Psychophysiological Detection of Deception (PDD) pretest interview and PDD examination results. The primary objective of this effort was to extract information from designated PDD pretest accomplished performers (APs) through coordinated in-depth interviews (IDIs). The second objective was to provide recommendations for the integration of this revealed information into one-or-more performance-enhancing interventions such as new training, personnel screening, or motivational incentives, with the ultimate goal of bringing pretest novices or 'non-experts' up to speed in a more rapid fashion. A list of proposed interventions is provided including, but not limited to, support for examiner candidate screening, additional coursework, online training and information dissemination, support for regular examiners 'lessons learned' conference, and providing a framework for formal examiner mentoring.
