This experiment tests how people produce and detect deception while playing a computerized version of the dice game, Meyer. Deception is an integral part of this game, and the participants played it as in real life, without constraints on whether or when to attempt to deceive their opponent, and whether or when to accuse them of deception. We stress that deception is a complex act that cannot be exclusively associated with telling a falsehood, and that it is facilitated by hierarchical decision-making and risk evaluation. In comparison with a non-competitive control condition, both claiming truthfully and claiming falsely were associated with activity in fronto-polar cortex (BA10). However, relative to true claims, false claims were associated with greater activity in the premotor and parietal cortices. We speculate that the activity in BA10 is associated with the development of high-level executive strategies involved in both types of claim, while the premotor and parietal activity is associated with the need to select which particular claim to make.
这项实验测试了人们在玩电脑版骰子游戏 Meyer 时如何产生和察觉欺骗。在这个游戏中,欺骗是一个不可或缺的部分,参与者像在现实生活中一样玩游戏,不受是否以及何时试图欺骗对手、是否以及何时指责他们欺骗的限制。我们强调,欺骗是一种复杂的行为,不能仅仅与说谎联系在一起,它是由分层决策和风险评估促进的。与非竞争控制条件相比,如实声称和虚假声称都与额极皮层(BA10)的活动有关。然而,与真实声称相比,虚假声称与运动前皮层和顶叶皮层的活动增加有关。我们推测,BA10 的活动与两种类型的声称都涉及的高级执行策略的发展有关,而运动前和顶叶的活动则与需要选择做出哪种特定的声称有关。
