Cheater detection module

edit

Dadukes23, Cazee16, and I plan to edit the Memory and social interactions article base on our investigation of human's enhanced memory of cheaters. More specifically we plan to edit under the subheading currently titled, Memory for Friends and Foes. We are especially interested in adding information pertaining to the existence, or lack-thereof, of a cheater detection module.[1] We would also like to state that psychologists have not yet found support for a cognitive module specific to enhanced memory for cheaters and credit this enhancement to more general adaptations.[2] Spgill42 (talk) 02:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
