Researchers have developed a new intervention program that promotes the learning of math to school-aged children. More than half the children who entered the ACE-ArithmEcole program were better able to solve complex math problems, compared to 29% who were not exposed to the new method.
Researchers say those over 60 are better at predicting stressful events at home than younger people. However, younger people are better at utilizing these predictions to minimize the adverse impact of stress.
Neuroimaging study sheds light on what drove the evolutionary development of human creativity.
A new study reveals birds can learn how to use objects to solve tasks by first playing with them.
