Cues to deception
Do people behave differently when they are lying compared with when they are telling the truth? The combined results of 1,338 estimates of 158 cues to deception are reported.

Their stories include fewer ordinary imperfections and unusual contents. However, many behaviors …

The effect of summer break was more detrimental for math than for reading and most detrimenta…
