最小的孩子是最不容易撒谎的,或许是因为他们还没学会如何撒谎。在多伦多大学的一项实验中,实验员要求孩子猜藏起来的玩具是什么。
The experimenter always leaves the room to take a phone call - which is, of course, a lie - and tells the kid not to peek.
实验员总是找借口离开房间去接电话,然后他会告诉孩子不要偷看。
"Most children can't resist peeking," Bhattacharjee writes, but how they react after that depends on age.
巴塔查尔吉写道:“大多数孩子会忍不住去偷看,不过偷看后的反应取决于他们的年龄。
Toddlers usually admit to taking a look, while about 80 percent of eight-year-olds claim they didn't.
幼儿们通常会承认自己偷看了,但是大约有80%的八岁小孩会谎称自己没有偷看。
They also become gradually savvier about covering up their naughty behaviour. Younger kids who have lied about peeking typically give the correct answer about the toy, while older ones deliberately offer the wrong answer.
他们还会渐渐地越来越善于掩饰自己的调皮行为。同样是偷看并撒谎,年龄稍小的孩子通常会给出正确答案,而年龄稍大的孩子则会故意提供错误答案。
Studies of adults have shown that brains continue to get more adept at lying over time.
针对成年人的研究表明,随着时间推移,大脑会越来越善于撒谎。
