Recommendation
This episode of You Are Not So Smart explores research in social psychology that suggests, well, maybe you are. Tom Stafford, a University of Sheffield psychologist, delves into his research showing people have more intelligence than they get credit for – it just takes the right context to make their smarts operational. Stafford explains to host David McRaney exactly what that context is, and how computer scientists are working to bring it to online interactions.
