Wilheim Wundt

Definition

 

 “Wundt saw cognition as an active, creative process aimed at providing structure to experiences.”

(The Cognitive Movement and Education, 1987)

 

Psychology as the behaviorist views it is a purely objective experimental branch of natural science. Its theoretical goal is the prediction and control of behavior. Introspection forms no essential part of its methods, nor is the scientific value of its data dependent upon the readiness with which they lend themselves to interpretation in terms of consciousness. The behaviorist, in his efforts to get a unitary scheme of animal response, recognizes no dividing line between man and brute. The behavior of man, with all of its refinement and complexity, forms only a part of the behaviorist's total scheme of investigation

The Science of our Brain

Our brains could be thought of as having two half’s the left side and the right side

Definition

The right sidev (creative, activity) of the brain is known more for its free thinking, imagination or visually constructed images. It is also responsible for constructing audio memory and memory of feelings, if a person is actively using this side in conversation then it would indicate that they are trying to create a memoryor answer, instead of really having a true memory for what they are saying.

 



The left side of the brain is also responsible for visual, audio and memory of feelings, but if a person recalls memory from here while in conversation then they are actually recalling known memory, in other words it is truthful because it is something that they have actually seen, heard and have had an emotional experience logged there.



Left Handed People, if you are like me and are left handed most of you will find that the whole process works in reverse, my eyes will look right to access my actual memory and look left if I need to access my creative memory, that is something to note and be aware of.

(For more details on left handed analysis refer to this video, F.B.I Agent explains how to spot liars).

Term

Visually Constructed Images

Deception Indicator

[image]

Definition

When the eyes roll up and to the right this indicates that we are trying to construct an image of something;

 

 

  • Maybe trying to imagine what a pink elephant would look like?
  • Or how many cans of cola you could fit into a phone box?
  • But if you were asked where did you sleep last night?
  • This would indicate that you were probably trying to be dishonest!

 

Term

Constructed Audio Memory

Deception Indicator

[image]

Definition

When the eyes are right facing the ear it’s said we are trying to construct audio sounds like;

 

  • Creating your own symphony?
  • Or making up a rap song?
  • Maybe trying to imagine what your mum would sound like singing underwater?


For example if you were asked why was your phone engaged for an hour? And had answered, “Oh I was talking to my best friend he had just broken up with his girlfriend”. It would indicate that you were probably trying to be dishonest!

Term

Kinaesthetic/Constructed Emotional Memory

Deception Indicator

[image]

Definition

When the eyes revert down and to the right we are said to be trying to construct an emotional memory or simply trying to imagine what it feels like;

  • Try to imagine how it would feel to win the jackpot in the lottery? (Obviously for those that have never won).
  • Or how it would feel to walk on the planet Mars?
  • But if you were ask to tell someone if you really loved them? This response would indicate that you were probably lying!
Term

Visually Recalled Memory

The Truth Indicator

[image]
Definition

When the eyes are up and to the left it is said we are using the visually recalled memory or simply actual memory, the stuff we really do remember like;

  • What colour is your front door?
  • What your car looks like?
  • What dress your partner had worn the night before?


But if someone was asked did you stay at home last night? And they replied yes I did, and then this would be an indicator that they were probably telling the truth.

Term

Audio Recalled Memory

Truth Indicator

[image]

Definition

When the eyes are to the left and looking to the ear, it is said that we are accessing our audio recalled memory or simply actual audio memory the sounds we do remember like;

  • What your mother’s voice sounds like?
  • Or reciting your national anthem?
  • Or again recognising the sound of a car breaking some distance away?


For example if you were asked to convey a telephone message to someone? And replied with this response it would be an indicator that you were probably telling the truth.

Term

Actual Emotional Memory

Truth Indicator

[image]

Definition

When the eyes revert down and to the left it is said we are using actual emotional memory simply put, the emotions that we have really experienced like;

  • Joy, happiness, fear or love?
  • How you felt when you passed your driving test?
  • How cold the snow is to touch in winter?


For example if you were asked to explain how much you love your partner? And you replied with this response, it would be an indicator that you were probably telling the truth.
