你撒過謊嗎?科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn):說謊會讓大腦難以完成其他更重要的任務(wù)!
對大腦來說,說謊可比說實(shí)話累多了——要讓謊言聽起來真實(shí)可信,還要牢記這些謊言,隨時準(zhǔn)備好怎么圓謊……
The prefrontal cortex (前額皮質(zhì)) is the part of the brain people use when they are lying. It’s in charge of short memory, scientist Jennifer Vendemia told Science News for Students. That area also takes care of planning, problem-solving and self-control. 人們說謊時,大腦中前額皮質(zhì)高度活躍——該區(qū)域負(fù)責(zé)短時記憶,做計劃、解決問題和自我控制等方面。
正因如此,費(fèi)力撒謊的人就不太容易兼顧其他事情——如做數(shù)學(xué)題。此外,由于前額葉皮層直到25歲才能發(fā)育完全,青少年說謊就更難了:如果忙著撒謊,別的事兒就很難做好,如制定學(xué)習(xí)計劃或健康飲食。 |
