memory aids lying technique


Children who have a good memory are better at telling lies, say child psychology researchers. They tested six and seven-year-olds who were given an opportunity to cheat in a trivia game and then lie about their actions....
"We already know that adults lie in approximately a fifth of their social exchanges lasting 10 or more minutes, so it's interesting to know why some children are able to tell more porkies than others."
She said they now wanted to find out more about how children first learn to lie.

  1. Have little clue whether does memory aid lying, though Ananda sure had a very long history of memorisation and recollection.

  2. Dogs lie too. They're always innocent, clueless, and love us, no idea how the trash got strewn about the kitchen.
