Slow motion can help us see more clearly, right? It helps us to know who crossed a finish line first if two athletes are separated by a few hundredths of a second. But new research shows that slow motion also has another effect – a psychological one. NPR’s Shankar Vedantam reported on the studies findings:

Usually, when we see people taking time to perform an action, it usually means they are thinking through what they’re about to do. They intended the action. On the other hand, when something happens suddenly, we’re more likely to say it was an accident. It appears that even though we know that slow motion is motion that has been slowed down, our minds still unconsciously apply the same rule of thumb and ascribe greater intentionality to the action than if we saw it at regular speed.

Listen to Shankar’s report about possible implications for both athletes and the criminal justice system here.

Is it Friday yet? We definitely know how this red fox feels. 🐺

It’s a leap and a miss for this red fox that was hunting for a snack in Yellowstone National Park’s Hayden Valley. By leaping, the fox avoids the noise of running at the target, which would alert his prey to danger. Better luck next time buddy! Video by Dale Bohlke, National Park Service.
