Curated scientific intelligence
Not a feed. Developments in psychology and neuroscience, ranked by evidence, connection, and — if you follow topics — relevance to you. Study publication dates and when PaperFren added the explanation are listed separately.
Each development carries an evidence label. What the labels mean
Sleep · Working memory
Evidence: ContestedPartial and total sleep loss reduced memory accuracy and attention in young adults. A separate study found that one night of total sleep deprivation did not impair healthy older adults' working-memory accuracy or their positivity bias.
Bilingualism · Executive function
Evidence: ContestedIn university students, 13 executive-function measures showed no bilingual benefit; a few differences favored monolinguals. Tasks that supposedly measure the same construct (for example inhibition) correlated poorly with one another.
