Assignment: Developing a Training Program
The proper role for a psychologist in interrogations is to serve as a consultant for psychological science. However, you will not serve as an interrogator while acting as a psychologist. Therefore, your job is to provide scientific information to make the process of interrogation more valid and reliable.
In this assignment, you will provide scientific information about two areas of interrogation.

The captain wants the training program to be ready in five days.
Task:
In a minimum of 150 words, respond to the following:
• Which behavioral cues of deception will you report as having the greatest validity, and what evidence will you present to support your claim?
