Default RE: What are spoilers?

As cafeen man said, spoilers break up the smooth airflow over a wing, therefor decreasing lift on that wing and causing it to drop. By dropping the inside wing, and not trying to raise the outside wing(as in inside and outside of the turn), you also avoid adverse yaw caused by the increase in lift of the outer wing.
