| Family size may influence cognitive functioning in later life Posted: 12 May 2022 10:41 AM PDT A new study found that having three or more versus two children has a negative effect on late-life cognition. The results further indicated that this effect was strongest in Northern Europe, where higher fertility decreases financial resources but does not improve social resources in this region. |

| Slow walking may be to blame for perceived congestion in pedestrian areas Posted: 12 May 2022 06:26 AM PDT When designing public spaces or other places where foot traffic is considered, planners and architects need to know how people perceive the spaces in question. It is commonly believed that a space will feel more congested if the crowd density is higher. However, new research suggests that walking speed of individuals actually plays a greater role than crowd density in how someone feels about a busy space. Also, age and gender seem to affect someone's perception of how congested an enclosed space feels to them. |

The extra brain power needed to concentrate on a secondary task (other than lying) was particularly challenging for lie tellers. |
