People who refuse to wear a mask or comply with social distancing have lower cognitive ability, new study shows The team found those with higher working capacity have an increased awareness of benefits and cost of social distancing and wearing a mask.

This part of the memory is involved in decision-making, reasoning and how one behaves, and it holds information for just a few seconds. The amount of information working memory can hold briefly is predictive of many mental abilities such as intelligence, comprehension, and learning. Weiwei Zhang, an associate professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, said: 'The higher the working memory capacity, the more likely that social distancing behaviors will follow.'

Isn't this the second thread that's been started about this?

Please, if you can't be brilliant, at least be original.

People that mindlessly believe hoaxes and scams which this virus response has now become and allow themselves to be brainwashed by a corrupt biased Media show lack of critical thinking and cognitive, rational thought.

+1 Eddie.

There is no shortage of Darwin material when it comes to thinking this virus is a hoax. Just look at that moron 30 year old that went to a Covid party, caught it, and confessed on his death bed that he made a mistake.

Some hard heads have to learn the hard way. Unfortunately some with their lives and some with complications for life.

There's a reason why health care workers have a lower infection rate than Joe public, and that's PPE which includes N95 masks.

Prolonging this pandemic is in no one's best interest. It's just plain stupid.

I wonder if Weiwei was on the taxpayers dime for this worthless study. Whose idea was it to waste time and someone's money on a study like that?
