We present the first study to map deception across the entire lifespan. Specifically, we investigated age-related difference in lying proficiency and lying frequency. A large community sample (n = 1005) aged between 6 and 77 were surveyed on their lying frequency, and performed a reaction-time (RT) based deception task to assess their lying proficiency. Consistent with the inverted U-shaped pattern of age-related changes in inhibitory control that we observed in a stop signal task, we found that lying proficiency improved during childhood (in accuracy, not RTs), excelled in young adulthood (in accuracy and RTs), and worsened throughout adulthood (in accuracy and RTs). Likewise, lying frequency increased in childhood, peaked in adolescence, and decreased during adulthood. In sum, we observed important age-related difference in deception that generally fit with the U-shaped pattern of age-related changes observed in inhibitory control. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed from a cognitive view of deception.

Effect of Private Deliberation: Deception of Large Language Models in Game Play.

Integrating large language model (LLM) agents within game theory demonstrates their ability to replicate human-like behaviors through strategic decision making. In this paper, we introduce an augmented LLM agent, called the private agent, which engages in private deliberation and employs deception in repeated games. Utilizing the partially observable stochastic game (POSG) framework and incorporating in-context learning (ICL) and chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting, we investigated the private agent's proficiency in both competitive and cooperative scenarios.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the diagnostic accuracy of cystoscopy, highlighting how it varies based on the experience of the physician conducting the procedure.
- Researchers compared eye movement patterns of 24 medical students and 10 urologists while observing cystoscopic images, focusing on their ability to detect lesions, especially with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
- Results showed that urologists had a broader and more efficient gaze across images, indicating better lesion identification skills, while medical students were more focused on AI-detected lesions, suggesting differences in their observational strategies.
Investigating the Skill Development of Medical Students in Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma (FAST) Ultrasound: A Comparative Analysis Across Different Stages of Medical Training.

Introduction: Focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) ultrasound (US) is a valuable medical examination used in trauma settings, particularly for rapid responses to events such as natural disasters. Although the efficacy and benefits of FAST in patient care have been extensively studied, there is limited research on training medical students in FAST. Previous studies have found that medical students can proficiently perform a FAST US after two days of training.

Introduction And Importance: Bile duct stones are a widespread condition that can pose a significant risk to life due to the occurrence of complications. In recent years, there has been a growing inclination toward the use of one-stage minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of this condition. However, it is important to note that in developing countries, such as Indonesia, where the National Healthcare Insurance System is established, the implementation of these procedures is still relatively uncommon due to limitations in healthcare facilities.
