Where is this article on group psychology?

Recent study showing that the person in a group who talks most is judged most knowledgeable by other members of the group. I read an article about this somewhere on the Web within the last three weeks, and now I can't find it again. Can you help?

Best answer: Here is the article in Time about the study by Anderson & Kilduff. I couldn't find a free copy of the study, but I also didn't look very hard.

Best answer: Should you want to look it up, then here's the full reference: Why do dominant personalities attain influence in face-to-face groups? The competence-signaling effects of trait dominance. Anderson, Cameron; Kilduff, Gavin J. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Vol 96(2), Feb 2009, 491-503.
