One of our long-time blog readers sent us the link to this piece by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods, whose work we have posted on the blog before here and here.
Here's the intro to the Live Science article:

Happy weekend reading!
What Shirley said. :) It's nice to see science catching up with what we already know from our own experience. Thanks for the article!
