It could be something very subtle.
Do you all know the experiment in which "analytical" ability (measured by the Cognitive Reflection Task, CRT) was linked to religious disbelief?
First, CRT scores were correlated with disblief. In the experiment, the experimental groups that had increased CRT scores also had increased disbelief. One experimental group was given the CRT questions in hard-to-read font. They got the idea from previous research that connected hard-to-read font with improved analytical abilities.
That study looked at hard vs easy font, but I wonder about reading vs talking.
