Exam 13 Poly

Question 1

1. The polygraph instrument is also known as a lie detector, but research clearly shows that it cannot determine or detect a lying person. What then is the use of polygraph instrument?

Answer 1

A. To record physiological reactions of the subject.

Question 2

2. Any deviation from norm without markings on the chart requires an explanation. This is the cardinal rule in chart interpretation. What then is the keynote to accurate chart interpretation?

A. Good question formulation
B. Good chart marking
C. Good pre-test interview
D. Good chart-proving

Answer 2

A. Good question formulation

Question 3

3. The pneumograph channel during the test records the respiratory activity of the examinee. What then is the channel of the polygraph that records the galvanic skin resistance of the examinee?

A. Galvanograph Channel
B. Cardiograph Module
C. Kymograph Assembly
D. Hydrosphygmograph

Answer 3

A. Galvanograph Channel

C. General question test
D. Zone comparison test

Answer 4

B. Strong relevant question
C. Knowledge control question
D. Secondary control question

Answer 5

A. Irrelevant question

Question 6

6. The examiner will conduct post interrogation if he is fully convinced on the guilt of the subject based on the chart taken. On the other hand, when will the examiner conduct chart probing to the subject during the test?

A. Every after taking of each chart
B. Only after the first test was completed
C. Only if there are deviations from norm on the chart taken
D. When there are specific responses on the chart without chart markings

Answer 6

A. Every after taking of each chart

Question 7

7. There are several test techniques commonly used in polygraph examination, the use of which will depend on the nature of the case under investigation or at the discretion of the examiner. What test technique is being used when the so-called S-K-Y questions were asked during the test?

B. General question test
C. Silent answer test
D. Stimulation test
Answer A

Answer 7

A. Backster zone comparison test

Question 8

A. Red
​B. Black​
C. Green​
D. Orange

Answer 8

A. Red

Question 9

9. The type of drug that increases physiological activity of the examinee is called stimulant drugs. What about the drug that reduces physiological activity of the subject during polygrap test?
