The ACES team published a new paper on "Communication and deniability: Moral and epistemic reactions to denials".
The paper, co-authored by Francesca Bonalumi, Feride Belma Bumin, Thom Scott-Phillips and Christophe Heintz investigates the cognitive reactions to speakers' denials: if the speakers had incentives to mislead you, would their deniable still be credible? Would the speaker be blamed more for misleading you?
You can find the paper in a new Special Issue on "Relevance in Mind" in Frontiers in Psychology:
