used to assess polygraph accuracy”.
“…uncertainty about the accuracy of (employment) screening is greater than for specific-incident polygraph testing.”
“The relevance of available research to preemployment polygraph screening is highly questionable…”
“Basic science and polygraph research give reason for concern that polygraph test accuracy will be degraded by countermeasures, particularly when used by major security threats…”
“All of the physiological indicators measured by the polygraph can be altered by conscious efforts…”
“…successful countermeasures can be learnable”.
“Research does not clarify, however, whether users of countermeasures can be detected…”.
