Why You Can’t Help Believing Everything You Read

In this article i read, they tested 71 people. to see if they paid attention to facts. They gave different senarios, and then asked to readers to give the person in the story a jail time. The senarios that were true were in green type, and the false ones in red. The funny things is, is that many people who were interrupted in their reading believed what they read despite the color of the text. they consequently gave the person a longer jail sentence. Whereas the people who were uninterrupted and had time to reflect, paid attention to the type, and gave the person in the story a shorter jail time

This article was very odd, and so far none of the psychblog articles have pervoked my thinking. Most of them have been something that seems very interesting at first, but turns out to be somewhat obvious when you sit down and think about it. This article was odd, but it proved that given no interruptions, you can pay more attentions to small facts, and that is why librarys are better places to study.
