And now, we talk about can adult detect childrens lies?

There is a survey about this question.

In this survey, there are as many liars as truth tellers, if you guess
randomly, there's a 50 percent chance you're going to get it right.
So if your accuracy is around 50 percent, it means you are a
terrible detector of children's lies.
We will show some figures about this.
So let's start with undergraduates and law school students. Can
they detect children's lies? No, they cannot.
Now how about social workers and child-protection lawyers, who
work with children on a daily basis? Can they detect children's lies?
No, they cannot.
What about judges, customs officers and police officers, who deal
with liars on a daily basis?
Can they detect children's lies? No, they cannot.
What about parents? Can parents detect other children's lies or can
parents detect their own childrens lies? No, they cannot.
So most of the people can not detect childrens lies.
Lying is not the only situation that will evoke our hidden emotions.
Lying can be recognize by facial blood flow, and facial blood flow
can recognize emotional response.
Like this picture, our facial skin is full of network of blood vessels.
When we experience different emotions, our facial blood flow
changes subtly.
Because our emotions are beyond conscious control. We can
reveal peoples hidden emotions by looking at facial blood flow
changes.
So there is a technology called transdermal optical imaging, which
can reveal peoples hidden emotions.
Now lets show the video about transdermal optical imaging.
(10:05~10:39)
This technology can reach to accuracy at about 85 percent which is
far better than chance level.
And in addition, they discovered a Pinocchio effect. No, not this

Pinocchio effect.
This is the real Pinocchio effect.
When people lie, the facial blood flow on the cheeks decreases,
and the facial blood flow on the nose increases.
How can this technology be used except for detecting lies?
For example, during a presidential debate on TV, we could detect
the politicians' heart rate, mood and stress, and perhaps in the
future, whether or not they are lying to us.
In addition, we can even use it in dating.
If your date is smiling at you, this technology can help you to
determine whether she actually likes you or she is just trying to be
nice to you.
And in this case, she is just trying to be nice to him.
Although this technology is still at a very early stage of
development, we can use the technology in the future.
