Writing on the craft of language, communication, and the reader’s mind. From the editing team.
Vocabulary tests are among the subtests most closely tied to IQ scores on standard batteries, not because a large vocabulary sharpens thinking in the moment, but because vocabulary size reflects the sustained reading and learning that verbal-intelligence measures are designed to pick up
Your vocabulary score reflects decades of reading habits, not a flash of raw intelligence.
Sociologist Erving Goffman's research on what he called civil inattention found that the small, wordless adjustments strangers make for each other in shared public space, stepping aside, angling a cart, holding a gap, function as a form of social coordination just as real as speech, even though nothing is ever said.
Deciding to back into a spot before getting out of the car is a small, literal example of what researchers call an implementation intention, a well-studied planning technique in which deciding in advance exactly how a future action will unfold measurably increases the odds of following through on it
People who can't rest until they've landed on an explanation for something uncertain score higher on what researchers call the need for cognitive closure, a documented cognitive style where the discomfort of not knowing gets resolved by settling on almost any answer rather than the right one.
Despite decades of TV detectives insisting that liars can't hold eye contact, a review of more than 100 scientific studies found no reliable link between how much eye contact someone makes and whether they're telling the truth
When an older person says a plan or person "isn't worth the energy anymore," that's rarely apathy talking; it's usually a blunt but accurate description of how they've learned to spend a limited emotional budget
