It is the basis and goal of all criminal investigation.
“search for truth”
He defined “search for truth.”
Dr. Hans Gross
Gross stated, a large of the criminal work is
nothing more than a battle against ______.

He stated that fear
influenced the heart and could be used as a basis for detecting deception.
Angelo Mosso
He uses
“Sphygmanometer” and scientific radio to study fear, there is however, no evidence
that he ever put this into practice.
Angelo Mosso
He developed the mechanical device known as the “Scientific Cradle” often
called “Mosso’s Cradle”.
Angelo Mosso
This device was nothing more than a balanced table-like
platform, mounted on a fulcrum.
“Scientific Cradle” or “Mosso’s Cradle”
He is an Italian scientist who employed the first
scientific instrument to detect deception known as Hydrosphymograph.
Cesare Lombroso
This instrument measures changes in pulse and blood pressure when suspects were
questioned about their involvement of a specific offense.
Hydrosphymograph
He modified the plethysmograph thus inventing a more modern device called hydrosphygmograph.
Cesare Lombroso
He was accorded the distinction of being the first person to utilize a scientific
instrument successfully in the detection of deception.
Cesare Lombroso
Father of Lie Detection
William Moulton Marston
He dealt with the Sphygmomanometer and made researches on the usefulness of Sphygmomanometer in detecting lies, which was used to obtain periodic discontinuous blood pressure readings during the course of an examination. He recorded the respiration and noted the time of subject’s verbal responses.
William Moulton Marston
This was used to obtain periodic discontinuous blood pressure readings during the course of an examination.
Sphygmomanometer
He experimented with galvanometer to record skin resistance changes and a
gripping device to record tension.
William Moulton Marston
He was the first to use polygraph in espionage case in 1917-1918.
William Moulton Marston
He deviced an instrument that records both
blood-pressure and galvanic skin response. He introduced this machine to the
University of California and first applied in law enforcement work by the Berkeley
Police Department under its nationally renowned Police Chief August Vollmer.
Dr. John A. Larson
Who was the nationally renowned police chief of Berkeley Police Department?
Police Chief August Vollmer
He designed the first two recording channel polygraph in the history. The first
mechanical form of the present-day polygraph consists of two recording components
and that is the cardiosphymograph and the pneumograph.
Dr. John A. Larson
The first mechanical form of the present-day polygraph consists of two recording components and that is the ____________ and the _____________.
cardiosphymograph; pneumograph
He improves Larson’s Apparatus and in 1949 he
invented the “Keeler Polygraph”. He also designed a metal bellows and a
kymograph that pulled at a constant speed, a chart paper under the recording pens
from a roll of chart paper located inside the instrument.
Leonarde Keeler
He designed a special chair equipped with metal
bellows for recording unobserved muscular activities of the arms, thighs and feet,
located on the arm of the chair and on the seat, this transmit singular muscular
activity to the recording polygraph.
John E. Reid
He introduced the first recording channel instrument to be developed. This
instrument is excellent for detecting deceptions because it does not only have a
recording pen for cardiosphymograph, pneumograph and galvanograph but also it has
the muscular movement pen for the arms and thighs.
John E. Reid
He successfully detected deception with a
Pneumograph.
Vittorio Benussi
It is an instrument that graphically measures an examinee’s inhalation and
exhalation.
Pneumograph
He demonstrated that changes in breathing patterns accompany deception.
Vittorio Benussi
He determined that respiratory changes were
indication of deception.
Harold Burtt
He found out that changes in systolic blood pressure were of
greater value in determining deception than in changes in respiration.
Harold Burtt
He is Italian physiologist who was accorded the
distinction for developing the galvanic skin reflex (GSR) or the galvanometer.
Luigi Galvani
It records electric bodily changes by measuring changes in person’s skin resistance to
electricity in terms of ohms (the lowest current ever recorded).
galvanic skin reflex (GSR) or the galvanometer
He declared that electricity is generated by the
body and named external friction as source of generation. He assorted those sweat
glands which the body at times store the electricity and at other times discharged
them.
Jacques-ArseneD’arsonval
He discovered that electro dermal response is caused by an increase in the action of the heart and vital energy converted with human emotions.
Fere
He asserted that human body has the ability to generate store, discharged high voltage
of static electricity.
Fere
He introduced the method of detecting deception from the galvanic impression on the chart tracing.
Harold Sticker
He was the first to use the word “psychogalvanic
reflex”. He believed that electrical phenomena are due to the activity of sweat glands,
and such activity is known as “psychogalvanic”.
Otto Veraguth
What is the activity of sweat glands that causes electrical phenomena?
“psychogalvanic”
He invented “plethysmograph.”
Francis Franke
This was used to reveal periodic undulations (waves) in blood pressure caused by the breathing cycle.
“plethysmograph”
This instrument was used by Mosso to measure changes in pulse and blood pressure.
“plethysmograph”
The theory of this test is that guilty reacts only to relevant questions and innocent shows no reactions.
“relevant-irrelevant” test
He developed the “relevant-irrelevant” test.
Leonarde Keeler
He is credited with introducing the “card test” and specialized in the “peak of tension test”.
Leonarde Keeler
It consists of a known lie incorporated in to relevant-irrelevant test. The theory of the test is to stimulate the innocent subject, to identify the general nervous tension and guilt complex reactor, and to improve contract between innocent and guilty subjects.
“reviewed control question”
He developed the “reviewed control question”
consisting of a known lie incorporated in to relevant – irrelevant test.
John E. Reid
This question became known as the Reid Control Question Technique (RCQT) which represented a major breakthrough in polygraph technique.
“Guilt-Complex Test”
He discovered the “Guilt-Complex Test” administered to the overly responsive
subject.
John E. Reid
He conceived the psychological set theory.
Cleve Backster
This postulates that an individual being asked a series of questions will mentally focus on those questions that have the greatest salience, because they pose the greatest interest or immediate threat to his general well-being at the point in time.
Psychological set
