Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Concealed Information Tests (CIT) are designed to detect recognition of information that only the guilty party would know, without relying on physiological responses to guilt or lying per se. This makes CIT more accurate in identifying guilty individuals without mistakenly judging innocent suspects as lying, hence reducing the chances of false positives.
