The Polygraph
When we tell lies, we usually fear getting caught. This fear causes small changes in our bodies. Our hearts beat more quickly, our blood flows faster and we breathe harder. A machine called a polygraph or lie detector, measures these changes. It can tell if a person is lying. Police often use lie detectors to question suspects. Companies use polygraphs to screen people for jobs or to investigate theft. However, people cannot be forced to take lie detector tests. The person being tested wears an arm band that attaches to the polygraph. At first the person is asked simple questions such as, “What is your name?” From answers to these types of questions, the machine measures the person s normal body activity If a person tells the truth there is little or no change in the polygraph. Later, the questions are more pointed. They focus more and more on what the tester really wants to know. If the answers cause a large change on the polygraph it may mean the person is lying. Polygraphs are not always right. They sometimes measure changes a person might feel even when telling the truth.
This is especially true when the tester has not been trained to ask questions the right way. People can sometimes learn to control their emotions and fool the lie detector, too. Still, polygraphs are very useful in many kinds of police work.
