Turns of phrase that have scientific truth.
This week: Positive outlook
PEOPLE who are more open and agreeable might have a different ability to process visual information, according to research carried out in 2017 by Melbourne University in Australia.
Volunteers were asked to fill out a personality questionnaire before taking a visual test involving swapping looking at a red image with one eye, then a green image with the other. The exercise usually leads to the viewer seeing one image that flips between red and green, as your brain can only understand one image at a time.
But the scientists found that the participants who were more open in the personality quiz were better able to see the patchwork effect – possibly indicating they have more flexible brains, reported the Journal of Research in Personality.
