Other research notes

I learned a lot at the conference that I want to share, but wouldn't make a good post on it's own. So here's some random notes from various sessions.

• A child's attachment at 18 months is a better predictor of college graduation than I.Q.
• The job of retail/marketing is to make you unhappy with what you already have.
• In order to survive the young of our species need defenses against social manipulation - the earlier the better. 
• No accurate assessment for executive function, however Kindergarten teachers can accurately judge.
• The first two months of life and adolescence are the two biggest periods of brain growth. They are both noted by lack of sleep, moodiness, overwhelming emotions. Nutrition during these times is crucial.
• Some brain training works and some doesn't.
• C8 program for kids and Lumosity for adults are currently the best two on market.
• Use fMRI to confirm training with far transfer and durability for 1 year.
