I'm pretty sure that wasn't their conclusion but I can't be asked to watch it again (partly because Campbell kept saying "The DS Nintendo").

I'm sure they concluded that it wasn't an accent that affected it but the the pitch of your voice - women were told to use a deeper voice like that of a man.

Yeah she could see the word blue and even though it was in yellow, or red or black and couldnt understand why it said her brain age was 75?
