Abstract

Memory deception detection is an interdisciplinary field encompassing psychology, neuroscience, and law. Common methods involve analysing cognitive load through mouse/keyboard dynamics or response times. The autobiographical Implicit Association Test (aIAT) has garnered particular attention in this domain. This narrative-methodological review introduces the aIAT as a valuable tool for psychologists, neuroscientists, and lawyers investigating memory manipulation in forensics. We assess its validity, reliability, and offer methodological insights for its proper implementation. Accumulating evidence suggests that the reliability attributed to the aIAT has improved over time, contingent upon adherence to evolving methodological and procedural precautions.
