Description

Can we accurately read someone's body language to gain access to their innermost thoughts? Andrew Gold joins us on this Skeptical Sunday to find out!
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:

Body language research has found that indicators of deception may include eye movements, blinking, posture shifts, and word choice, but these cues can vary widely and require careful consideration.
Body language can be influenced by various factors, making it challenging to precisely interpret.
The use of body language by experts like the FBI involves observing consistent patterns in a suspect's behavior over time.
While body language offers insights, it is not foolproof, and understanding context and individual differences is crucial for accurate interpretation.
The case of Amanda Knox — exonerated after spending four years in Italian custody — highlights the dangers of relying solely on body language as evidence of guilt.
