"Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratorydeterminehow likely people are to confess to things they didn't do.(47)__________ The researchers thenintentionally crashed the computers andaccused the participants of hitting the "alt" key to see ifthey wouldsign a statement falsely taking responsibility.
