Plot twists make books and movies very enjoyable, and researchers say that it’s all due to the way our brains work. We look for clues and try to predict what happens next, sometimes without even noticing it, because we naturally tend to anticipate what’s coming. We do so in our daily lives, too, although guessing what happens can be even more challenging in this case compared to the movies.
