In daily life and in courtrooms, people regularly analyze the minds of others to
understand intentions. Specifically, the detection of intentions behind prior
events is one of the main issues dealt with in courtrooms. To our knowledge,
there are no experimental works focused on the use of memory detection techniques
to detect past intentions. This study aims at investigating whether reaction
times (RTs) could be used for this purpose, by evaluating the accuracy of the
autobiographical Implicit Association Test (aIAT) in the detection of past
intentions. Sixty healthy volunteers took part in the experiment (mean age: 36.5
y; range: 18-55; 30 males). Participants were asked to recall and report
information about a meeting with a person that had occurred at least 1 month
before. Half of the participants were required to report about an intentional
meeting, whereas the other half reported on a chance meeting. Based on the
conveyed information, participants performed a tailored aIAT in which they had to
categorize real reported information contrasted with counterfeit information.
Results demonstrated that RTs can be a useful measure for the detection of past
intentions and that aIAT can detect real past intentions with an accuracy of 95%.
