When faced with the choice between years of hard work and a simple &#8220;Just say yes,&#8221; the brain&#8217;s reward center kicks in immediately. The phrase appeals to our desire for a small miracle\u2014as if there were a hidden switch for wealth somewhere, just waiting to be flipped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The &#8220;Show More&#8221; Effect<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ellipsis and the expand button create what&#8217;s known as an information gap.
