在他们的论文《评估证人的可信度-我们是在指导陪审员关于无效因素吗？》中，Vrij和Turjo(2018)认为，在试图评估证人是诚实还是不诚实时，应该建议陪审员不要考虑行为举止，因为有大量的科学证据。然而，在这一回应中，我们认为，如Vrij和Turjo(2018)所引用的关于非语言交际的大量实证科学研究，以及欺骗检测研究的局限性，破坏了他们的整体论点。虽然陪审员应该被警告关于人类交流的错误信念和可疑概念，但也应该建议陪审员考虑举止，以此来丰富他们对证人及其口头证词的整体了解。
In their paper 'Evaluating credibility of witnesses-Are we instructing jurors on invalid factors?', Vrij and Turgeon (2018) argue that jurors should be advised not to consider demeanour when trying to evaluate if witnesses are honest or dishonest because of 'overwhelming scientific evidence'. However, in this response, we contend that substantial empirical scientific studies on nonverbal communication alongside the limitations of deception detection research, as cited by Vrij and Turgeon (2018), undermine their overall argument. While jurors should be warned about erroneous beliefs and dubious concepts on human communication, jurors should also be advised to consider demeanour as a way of enriching their overall understanding of witnesses and their verbal testimony.
