Eye Movement & Lying : The Myth

The myth of watching a person's eye movement when lying or being honest. A persistent myth about how to tell if someone is lying or being honest is to watch if they look to their right or their left when they answer a question.

So which kind of science do you need to belief. Trust your own eyes, trust your experiences, or do you need a scientific research by phone, by guinea pigs or rats like done in the old fashion academic world? Welcome to 2010 ! The wings of an bumblebee has an area of only 0,7cm2 Weight – 1,2 g After all scientific laws and research - totally impossible for a insect to fly. The bumblebee don’t know this limiting beliefs – this is why the bumblebee is flying..

@TheKongruent One more time because you have yet to answer my request. I'm not talking about a "telephone survey." What is the SOURCE of you information you teach? What should I read to LEARN? Just saying you saw it is NOT scientific proof of your claim. You AND you eyes would be thrown out of court! AND you ARE using it on people. Show me the OBJECTIVE evidence that supports your claim. Last chance!

You really have no clue about what Eye Accessing cues in NLP is a part of. After 20 years practicing, I never have met a single person where there was any doubt

about there Eye movements. After some month of training, even you will see the split-second of eye-movement, before the eyes are wondering somewhere else. All our students are able to learn this after some training and you can start your empirical studies after learning the basic stuff first. Doubt and skepticism has also a structure…

@TheKongruent After 20 years of study, perhaps you can point me to the "scientific research" you use for the basis of your training. To date all I get from anyone on this topic is anecdotal. "I saw it therefore it is." After 30+ yrs in this field I find NO peer reviewed evidence that links eye movement and deception. Grinder and Bandler themselves have repeatedly deny such a link. I repeat my request - show me the science!

I dont expect you to understand. Your like the guys that insisted the world was flat. They hate hearing that something they've known their whole life could be different from what they comprehended.

Im amazed your whole argument is a 13 year old document by two unknown teachers from the UK. Wooh hooh! Im sure we havent learned anything about the brain in that long.

Watch out while you sail! I'd hate for you to fall off the edge of the world.

Let's see, what I don't understand. A scientific published article by Dr. Aldert Vrij, currently one of the most PROLIFIC scientists researching and publishing (in peer reviewed scientific journals I might add) in the field of spotting deception and the science of interrogation. (New textbook with APA citations in it just published). Refutes myth in his text also.

BTW send me YOUR scientific support (peer reviewed) that PROVES the validity of eye movement.

the best way to spot the lie is to just ask them if their lieing & their react is a dead give away!!!! body language is the key

[mycrappylife]

this is inaccurate/false/no basis...it's a myth and a myth is all it is...

[thefactandthefiction]

i do agree. i was accused of plagiarism of an a* english essay and i knew the teacher was in the wrong, but i remember looking down to the right, up to the left and into her eyes and slightly to the left also. i was also trying to contain my fury tho.

Beats the heck out of me. TONS of agencies teach this myth as gospel and it is NOT supported by any empirical evidence. Studies however have refuted the theory. They all have been told it doesn't work but still cling to the myth.
