It's surprising how much simple movement of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟).
So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We're all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive(认知) performance or is it just a feeling?
Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people's powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.
What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren't. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test(one way of measuring attention). The researchrs call the effect "enclothed cognition," suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.
This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef's hat make the restaurant food taste better?
From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown(学位服).

答案解析：
25. C 文章的主旨是探讨穿着对人们认知表现的影响。第一段提到了身体动作对思维的影响，但这是为了引出文章的主题，即衣服对认知表现的影响。接下来的实验和讨论都是围绕这个主题展开的。
26. C 根据第三段，Adam和Galinsky的实验是测试穿白大褂对人们注意力的影响。文中提到白大褂与科学家联系在一起，而科学家被认为对细节有高度的注意力。
27. B 在最后一段，作者提到自己将只穿着白大褂编辑文章，以减少打字错误，并且希望读者穿着学位服阅读PsyBlog，这显然是一种幽默的说法，表明作者在轻松幽默的氛围中结束文章。
