$ `$ d: \3 c. Y 心理学家一直相信,因脑部尚在发育,孩子要到4岁才懂得撒谎,但英国朴次茅斯大学一项研究却推翻这个说法。心理学家以50名小孩作研究对象,并访问他们的父母,结果发现6个月大的婴儿已懂得使诈,如装哭扮笑来吸引注意力,到8个月时诡计更趋复杂,如学会掩饰不当行为或使出方法分散父母注意力。到两岁时,当被父母要胁惩罚时,他们更懂得虚张声势,装作不怕。

心理学家雷迪表示装哭是最早的的诡计之一,「他们哭时会稍作停顿,听听妈妈有没有反应。这显示他们明显知道所做的可产生某些效果,这跟成人撒谎时的心理一样,但成人会有道德顾虑。」她表示,这些简单的诡计令他们知道何种谎话能奏效之余,也明白撒谎过度的恶果。
