Abstract

Since 1947 when the comparison question was fi rst integrated by John Reid into the test format it became the key target of anti-polygraph criticisers. Not surprisingly, the Comparison (control) Question Techniques also happens to be the test technique most frequently used by polygraph examiners. Reid’s Probable Lie Control Question (PLCQ), later labelled as the Non Exclusive Control Question (NECQ) was later changed by Backster into the Exclusive Control Question (ECQ). While the debate which CQ–NECQ or ECQ – is better underway, Raskin introduced the Directed Lie Control Question (DLCQ) in the 1980s. Since then more CQ-related ideas have been developed.
