Resources: Use-the-best Heuristic for lie detection Publication

In this post, I have organized all resources related to the publication by Verschuere et al. (2023) The use-the-best heuristic facilitates deception detection published in Nature Human Behaviour. In this paper, we found that it is better to rely on a single diagnostic cue (i.e. how detailed a statement is) when detecting lies (deception). Hence the name use the best, ignore the rest.
