Curated scientific intelligence
Developments across the published libraries, ranked by evidence, connection, and — if you follow topics — relevance to you. Each card is a movement in the literature: what changed, how the evidence is labeled, and why it matters.
Each development carries an evidence label. What the labels mean
Sleep · Working memory
What changed
Two papers in the PaperFren library disagree by age group. Neither is large enough to settle the question. The conservative reading is: costs are clearer in young adults here; older-adult resilience was observed in a highly screened sample on a short task.
Bilingualism · Executive function
What changed
This paper is a central piece of the contested bilingual-advantage debate: no advantage here, plus evidence that popular EF tasks do not measure the same thing. It does not rule out effects in children, older adults, or other sociolinguistic contexts.
