Webinar Description

Ocular-motor deception testing (ODT) is an emerging technology that uses ocular-motor and behavioral measures of cognitive load to assess the credibility of respondents completing computer-automated testing procedures.

During this webinar, Dr. Mundt will discuss the evaluation of ocular-motor deception testing methods for assessing truthfulness and detecting deception in self-reported behaviors among civilly committed sexually violent persons. Our presenter will review an experimental study that evaluated ODT accuracy for discriminating deceptive and truthful response patterns in 124 volunteers detained at a secure treatment facility for sexually violent persons (SVPs). Study results support further research and continue use of ODT assessment methods as a potential adjunct to, or alternative for, post-conviction sex offender testing using polygraphs.
