This article critically examines the idea that cognitive load interventions can expose lies. I discuss the theoretical weaknesses of seven popular justifications of the cognitive load approach; for example, that liars must suppress the truth while lying, and this handicap makes lying challenging. Each of those seven justifications exhibits significant limitations. Moreover, the theoretical fitness of each justification is variable and unclear. A thematic review further indicated that researchers substantially rely on the customary seven justifications to support the cognitive load approach despite the shortcomings. This article proposes several research questions whose answers could help ascertain the theoretical fitness of the seven justifications and the cognitive load approach.

The Brain

Lying typically requires greater mental effort than telling the truth. Imposing cognitive load may improve lie detection by limiting the cognitive resources needed to lie effectively, thereby increasing the difference in speed between truths and lies. We test this hypothesis meta-analytically. Across 21 studies using response-time (RT) paradigms (11 unpublished; total N = 792), we consistently found that truth telling was faster than lying, but found no evidence that imposing cognitive load increased that difference (Control, d = 1.45; Load, d = 1.28). Instead, load significantly decreased the lie-truth RT difference by increasing the RT of truths, g = -.18, p = .027. Our findings therefore suggest that imposing cognitive load does not necessarily improve RT-based lie detection, and may actually worsen it by taxing the mental system and thus impeding people’s ability to easily—and thus quickly—tell the truth

The Liar

Lying is a very complex behavior, occurring in different forms and situations. It requires the liar not only to constantly keep the perspective of the to-be-deceived person in mind, but at the same time to remember and activate the truth, prevent the truth from slipping out, and flexibly switch between the lie and the truth. The affective correlates of lying seem to range from guilt and the fear of being discovered to a delight after successfully getting away with a lie. Because of the observed variability in the affective correlates of lying, most recent research on lie detection has started to explore methods that are based on cognitive rather than affective processes. Those methods aim either to measure the increased cognitive load during lying, or to measure lying indirectly by assessing whether a suspect recognizes critical crime-related information.

This paper aims to critically review best technology practices for native digital students in Indonesia. The success of learning using technology today cannot be separated from educators' ability to choose technology practice models from various learning sources. To present practices used for the digital generation, we have looked at data from dozens of scientific findings that examine digital best practices, particularly those that improve learning outcomes. After the data has been collected, we continue the critical review process to discuss the phenomenon and its attributes. Searching for data, analyzing, and summarizing data to answer the research questions was carried out with validity and reliability. We rely on online data searches. The result uses devices, teleconferencing, smart boards, reflective web journals, cloud servers, 3D printing, learning and practicing, maintaining flexibility and persistence, promoting collaboration, feedback, and research culture. Thus, these results will serve as essential reminder inputs for educators and researchers, curriculum innovation.

This article reviews the international literature on blended learning in view of establishing its thematic trends in higher education. The systematic review through PRISMA, sought to answer three research questions: First, how have publications evolved from 2000 to 2016 in blended learning in higher education? Secondly, what themes are frequently published in blended learning since 2000 to 2016? Thirdly, what are the emerging sub-themes in the blended learning publications in higher education? A thematic result is presented indicating major trends (in order of frequency: highest to lowest) in the Instructional design, Disposition, Exploration, Learner Outcomes, Comparison, Technology, Interactions, Professional Development, Demographic, and Others. The authors are of the view that this article contributes to the understanding and knowledge of the current research trends in blended learning and ascertains that much has to be done in terms of Blended Learning frameworks.

Research Questions

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">This article reviews literature on youth unemployment and self-employment as well as the informal sector in Botswana and the extent to which young people feature as agents in these studies. It pays attention to their areas of focus, research questions, and methodologies employed to understand the situation of youth unemployment and self-employment. One key finding coming from this review is that most of research portrays young people as overwhelmed by structural constraints and no attention is paid to their agency in the form of their perceptions of the situations they encounter as well as the strategies they use to respond to constraints and enablements. The article concludes by way of suggesting the methods and use of theoretical frameworks that would give a voice to young people as agents, which researchers should pay attention to in research designs. </span></p>
