Reflection Week 6

WEEK 6

In week sixth, our class continued with some remaining presentation that have to be done. Amirah's presentation are really attract me which is she talked about Lie Detection. Here are the some facts that I have got from her presentation.

• Look for micro-expressions. 

Micro-expressions are facial expressions that flash on a person's face for a fraction of a second and reveal the person's true emotion, underneath the lie. Some people may be naturally sensitive to them but almost anybody can train themselves to detect these micro-expressions

• Look for nose touching and mouth covering. 

People tend to touch the nose more when lying and a great deal less when telling the truth.This is perhaps due to a rush of adrenaline to the capillaries in the nose, causing the nose to itch. A lying person is more likely to cover his or her mouth with a hand or to place the hands near the mouth, almost as if to cover the lies coming forth. If the mouth appears tense and the lips are pursed, this can indicate distress.

• Notice the person's eye movements. 

You can usually tell if a person is remembering something or making something up based on eye movements. When people remember details, their eyes move up and to the left if they are right-handed. When right-handed people make something up, their eyes move up and to the right. The reverse is true of left-handed people. People also tend to blink more rapidly ("eye flutter") as they're telling a lie. More common in men than in women, another tell of a lie can be rubbing the eyes.

• Do not use eye contact or lack of it as a sole indicator of truthfulness. 

Contrary to popular belief, a liar does not always avoid eye contact.Humans naturally break eye contact and look at non-moving objects to help them focus and remember. Liars may deliberately make eye contact to seem more sincere; this can be practiced to overcome any discomfort, as a way of "proving" that truth is being told.
