PHILADELPHIA: Friday morning, I watched my Twitter timeline explode into moralizing chaos in reaction to a distorted, but widely distributed article that explains a recent study on how “Poverty Impedes Cognitive Ability.”


The study itself, published in Science, asks policy-makers to “beware of imposing cognitive taxes on the poor,” such as “filling out long forms, preparing for a lengthy interview,” all of which evidently interrupt cognitive abilities.
