The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Imagine your mind is a delicate balance scale, constantly weighing accuracy and deception. In a series of experiments, researchers discovered that when our cognitive load (the mental burden we carry) is increased, our ability to detect deception actually improves. Just like lifting weights strengthens our muscles, handling a greater cognitive load enhances our truth-detecting prowess. […]
