Abstract
We analyzed the debriefings of 250 participants of a mock-crime experiment of the Comparison Question Test (CQT) in an effort to distinguish competing explanatory constructs. Innocent participants accurately perceived themselves as reacting more to comparison questions. Tese results fail to support emotion-based explanations but support cognitive load explanations.
