Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that the use of countermeasures reduced the detection of guilty suspects by 50%, indicating that they were effective in manipulating their own arousal patterns to avoid detection. However, the examiners were not able to tell that the suspects were using countermeasures, as they were designed to be undetectable. Therefore, the best choice is A, which correctly states that the use of countermeasures reduced the detection of guilty suspects but did not allow the examiners to identify their use.
