• Abstract: As a key tool in cognitive psychology, eye-tracking technology has shown unique value in deception detection. Compared with traditional polygraph techniques, eye-tracking lie detection is non-invasive, ecologically valid, and easy to operate. It records indicators such as pupil diameter, fixation duration, blink frequency, and eye movement trajectory to reflect cognitive load and emotional arousal during lying. This paper reviews the development of eyetracking technology, theoretical foundations, and research progress on key eye movement indicators, focusing on their applicability to adolescents. Studies have confirmed that pupil diameter, eye movement trajectory, and blink frequency have high reliability and validity in adult lie detection. Moreover, adolescents’ physiological characteristics—rapid autonomic nervous system maturation, ongoing prefrontal cortex development, and dopaminergic system remodeling— may amplify changes in these indicators, facilitating detection. However, empirical research on adolescent eye-tracking lie detection is limited, and moderating variables such as motivational intensity and gender remain understudied. Given the rising trend of juvenile delinquency, future research should establish a theoretical framework for adolescent eyetracking lie detection, develop testing paradigms tailored to adolescents’ cognitive characteristics, and explore multiindicator and multimodal testing pathways to promote younger and more precise applications. 眼动追踪技术作为认知心理学研究的重要工具，近年来在测谎领域展现出独特的应用价值。与传统多道生理测试技术相比，眼动测谎具有无损伤、非侵入、操作简便等优势，能够记录瞳孔直径、注视时长、眨眼频率、眼动轨迹等指标，客观反映个体在说谎过程中的认知负荷与情绪变化。本文系统梳理了眼动追踪技术的发展脉络、测谎应用的理论基础及关键眼动指标的研究进展，重点分析了各指标在青少年群体中的适用性。研究表明，瞳孔直径、眨眼频率等指标在现有研究中已被证实具有较高的信效度，而青少年的生理发育特征（如自主神经系统快速成熟、前额叶皮层尚未完全发育、多巴胺系统处于重塑阶段）可能使这些指标的变化幅度更为显著，利于测谎。然而，目前针对青少年眼动测谎的实证研究较少，对动机强度、性别等变量的考察同样欠缺。基于犯罪低龄化的社会背景，未来研究应着力构建青少年眼动测谎的理论框架，建立适配青少年认知特点的测试范式，并探索多指标融合与多模态技术结合的测试路径，以推动眼动测谎技术向低龄化、精准化方向发展。
