I wonder two things...

Would learning a key concept well but incorrectly defintely show up?

Could you use this for crime investigation or prediction?

- see how familiar the suspect is with the crime scene photos

- see how familiar they are with certain criminal acts or concepts

- see how each member of a lineup does with these tests

I would imagine you can get false positives from _thinking_ you understand a concept - can do plenty of mental processing without ever really having any thoughts on the subject that are technically correct.
