> I've been playing A LOT of card game named Cheat A difference with this research would be whether it's credible to the liar that you already have, or can later access, unspoken information from an outside source. Your goal as a liar is in general to construct a credible, consistent story. In the controlled laboratory conditions, the liars can easily believe that the interviewers might have access to some unstated outside information, so constructing a story that remains consistent with that information is immediately more difficult. You've at least got to weigh up how you might incriminate yourself, before saying anything. In Cheat, a liar knows you won't have access to any other outside information than what they can also see. (Unless you have two aces, in which case they are already incriminated and story telling will do no further harm.) That means their lengthy story-telling can, with sufficient experience of the game, remain safely consistent with the information you have.
