| As we develop, the brain connects lessons learned differently Posted: 15 Nov 2021 12:10 PM PST A new study of brain activity patterns in people doing a memory task finds that the way we make inferences -- finding hidden connections between different experiences -- changes dramatically as we age. The study's findings might one day lead to personalized learning strategies based on a person's cognitive and brain development. The researchers found that whereas adults build integrated memories with inferences already baked in, children and adolescents create separate memories that they later compare to make inferences on the fly. |
| A key brain region responds to faces similarly in infants and adults Posted: 15 Nov 2021 09:35 AM PST In a functional magnetic resonance imaging study of babies ranging in age from two to nine months, researchers have found regions of the infant visual cortex that show strong preferences for either faces, bodies, or scenes, just as they do in adults. |
| Dreaming of being an investment shark? Better figure out if you’re an ‘owl’ or a ‘lark,’ study finds Posted: 15 Nov 2021 09:34 AM PST If you're a night owl looking to invest in the next big startup, making that decision first thing in the morning might not be the best idea, according to a new study. |
| Singing, being male, and being an adult tend to produce more respiratory aerosols, study finds Posted: 11 Nov 2021 02:11 PM PST A new study measured respiratory particles produced from people singing or playing instruments. Is singing worse than talking when it comes to how many particles are being emitted? Yes, according to the study. And the louder one talks or sings, the worse the emissions. A person's age and whether they are male or female also affects their respiratory emissions, with males and adults emitting more airborne particles, on average, than females and minors. |
