Abstract

This thesis explores the simulated integration of cognitive augmentation (CA) and augmented reality (AR) in deception detection within negotiation contexts. It assesses how AR visualizations of deception probabilities impact decision-making confidence and user acceptance. The study reveals that while visualization methods alone do not significantly alter confidence levels, a strong positive correlation exists between users' comfort with CA technologies and their decision-making confidence. This underscores the importance of user-centric design and familiarity with technology for effective CA implementations. The research also addresses public perceptions and ethical considerations, suggesting cautious optimism toward these technologies in high-stakes environments. Recommendations include enhancing algorithm accuracy, technical transparency, expanding interface designs, and developing ethical frameworks to support technology adoption.
