Kang Lee: Can you really tell if a kid is lying? (TED Summary)

Most of the audience put their hands up when Kang Lee asked them if they ever lie in childhood. Adults believed some concerning about kid and lies. First, children started to lie at elementary school. Second, children are poor liars so we are easily to detect it. Last, if children lies at very young age, they must become pathological liars for life. All of three beliefs are wrong. The researcher convinced children to play guessing cards and the winner will get big gift but the researcher get out the room and told the children to do not peek the card. As soon as the teacher left the room, they peek the cards. A research in elementary school showed more than 80% children were peek the cards as soon as the teacher get out from the room and they lied about it. Lying is typical parts of development, they starts lie as young as 2 years old. Kang Lee also told that there were two main ingredients to make a good lying. First ingredient is mind reading, an ability to know that different people have different knowledge. Second is ability to control their facial expression, their speech, and body language known as self control. Young children have more mind-reading and self control ability, but in the future, we will easily to detect their lies using lie-detection technology that can reveal our hidden lies.
