Detecting Lies With Neuro Linguistic Programming.
76
Introduction and Background
If you're that intent on being a mind reader, or you simply wish to perform party tricks. You might be interested in set of body language signals known as Visual Acessing Queues. The catch? They must be right-handed (else the signals and movements are reversed).
The term visual accessing queues was first discussed in the book, "Frogs into Princes: Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)" by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. They found that when asked a question a normally "organized person" tends to repeat the same eye directions in association with the same emotion.
Emotions that can be deciphered by decoding Visual Access Queues are:
- Visually Constructed Images and Visually Remembered Images.
- Auditory Constructed and Auditory Remembered
- Kinestetic (e.g Pain) and what is known as Internal Dialogue.
Having tried this myself on numerous occasions, I can attest that it seems to work most of the time. I like surprising people with a party trick that works with this information (which I will mention later). Personally, there are some people with whom it will work 100% of the time. Others can be impossible to read.
Visual Accessing Queues
The directions discussed refer to the direction in which the eyes go when answering a question, or simply thinking.
- Up and to the Left : Visually Constructed Images. Asking you to imagine a crocodile with fangs and wings.
- Up and to the Right : Visually Remembered Images. Asking you to picture your favourite painting.
- Left : Auditory Constructed. What the sound of a plant screaming may sound like? (assuming you haven't heard one scream before of course)
- Right : Auditory Remembered. Kalinka-Kalinka-Kalinka Moya, hey!
- Down and to the Left : Kinesthetic. What did it feel like when you last got a paper cut?
- Down and to the Right : Internal Dialogue. Talking to yourself. What should I do now? Where should I go?
Hypnotherapist on NLP Visual Accessing Queues
Trying it out.
See if it works for you! Or better yet, ask a friend or family member questions and look at the outcome.
The party trick I use is as follows. I ask the person chosen to remember three different experiences and picture them;
- A photo a person
- A song they love
- A feeing of pain (burning seems to work well)
Whe they have chosen I ask them to discard two of the memories. I then ask them to focus intently on the remaining memory (as I study their eye movements). Some people will look at you in the eyes as they think, and will ruin the effect. Try and get them to look away.
If they chose 1. They moved their eyes up. 2. To the side. 3. Down.
Easy!
Lie detection: Ask them about a memory. What did you do at your friend's house last night? If their eyes move up and to the left, they are entering the realm of Visual Constructed, and chances are, they are making it up. If, on the other hand, their eyes go to the right, they are remembering, and chances are they told you the truth!

Wow, great hub. I will have to remember not to try to lie to you. Do you play poker?
thatz awesome....my ex told me abt this before...but my question is, whose left and whose right? mine or the person watching me?
Thank you all! Visual Accessing queues are but a small part of NLP.
Dennis: As an interviewer or particulary as an interviewee, NLP can be a powerful manipulation tool (lol). You've porbably heard of creating rapport with someone, which is NLP. Playing with body language (mirroring someone for instance).
Mark: Nope, wish I did though :)
Chewingvampire: Your left and your right, if you are left handed, its the other way around. Thanks for the comments!
Mark thats why they wear sunglasses in doors at poker tournaments LOL.. this is great I had a book called "The PHD of persuasion" that went into this, I was going to make a CD that taught people to pay attention by subliminally memorizing the cues while they listented to meditative music.. never got around to it.. I have another great book called Never be lied to again- Lieberman this guy trains CIA, FBI etc on body language etc. the book is facinating and give you amazing insight!
Good observation Jerrico!
Yes that would be why people play poker with sunglasses!
LOL. I was pro poker player for several years. Thanks for the tip.
I have read a book on the subject and I believe there is something in it
Thank you
Woohoo..great tips.. I shall test them out prompt!!
;)
I remember the first time I read the book Frogs into Princes. The authors offered such fantastic ideas in psychological methodologies. I still have my copy, bought in 1986.
Thank you Compu and Shelly!
I'm having trouble with a lot of N.L.P fundamentals. I agree they are fantastic, and I certainly see the logic behind them. For now, I'm sticking to the practical uses. Flirting is a fantastic way in becomming aware of many NLP concepts, since so much of the language is non-verbal.
I'm still an NLP fledgling though. But it's a lot of fun!
interesting hub, and one great reason to prefer 'real life' interaction.
what I keep hearing on message boards is "we don't care if other posters are real or not". the internet seems often to be a world of psuedo-friendships based on illusions, in many cases.
THank you for you insight as usual!
auragem put up a wonderful poem that touched on that... elegy to dialup, something like that. you might take a peek if you hadn't already. :)
Cool hub! I love NLP, read the classic Frog Into Princes years ago, and also Anthony Robbins' books.
I linked to this hub from my "Decoding Nostalgia" hub to show how memories are recorded seperately (the different senses).. This is a great hub!
heres how I integrated the link: A memory you experience in a dream often uses all the senses (sensory data your mind recorded in an experience you had) which is why you feel the dream so powerfully, and if it "feels incredibly real and vivid" its because your dream networked ALL five senses, and you literally experienced the moment as if you were really there.
If we experience our entire physical world through the data generated from sensory stimulation then literally you WERE there.
Interesting to note also is that our brains have this interesting way of editing and splicing memory sets (all memories of sensory data are not recorded as one file/experience so to speak.
Each stimulation type is recorded separately and networked together to recreate the experience.
(where the link is plugged in to this hub here)
An interesting hub that shows how we can use this information to our advantage is ((( Link))))->Detecting Lies with NLP.

Left, constructed. Right, remembered. Left, constructed. Right, remembered. Thoog, what does it mean when my eyes pan up and to the left as I try to remember the visual accessing queues?
Just kidding... This is good stuff, from both sides of the camera, so to speak. Good to know as an observer or interviewer, but nice to remember when being observed or interviewed.
Left, constructed. Right, remembered. Left, constructed. Right, rememebered.
Good work!
