Control questions are questions in a polygraph test that are meant to establish a person's baseline physiological responses, such as their heart rate and breathing patterns, and are designed to be moderately stressful. Asking Melinda if she ever lied as a child is a control question because it is meant to establish her baseline response pattern before asking the more relevant questions about the embezzlement allegations.
