Contextual considerations for deception production and detection in forensic interviews.

Most deception scholars agree that deception production and deception detection effects often display mixed results across settings.

Similarly, verbal and nonverbal cues are often inconsistent predictors to assist in deception detection, leading to mixed accuracies and detection rates.
