Alex Danvers<p>The "you are not immune to false information" effect:</p><p>"Results indicated participants were able to detect outliers. Nevertheless, participants’ estimates were still biased in the direction of the outlier, even when they were most certain that they detected invalid information. ...

Alex Danvers<p>Interesting new study in Psych Science:</p><p>"inhibitory control predicted a shared or general psychopathology dimension, but not ADHD-specific, anxiety-specific, or irritability-specific dimensions.
