Adolescents who had high quality interactions with peers but who also spent a lot of time talking about deviant topics, had higher levels of problem behavior.

- By jove, we've got it: EEG correlates of insightful problem solving
01-22-2008 · EurekAlert!
In a study published in PLoS ONE, researchers at Goldsmiths College, London, investigated brain rhythms and their dynamics while human volunteers solved verbal problems. Often, the participants reached a state of mental block and could not progress further: excessive amount of gamma brain rhythm (the same rhythm gets enhanced with selective attention) might cause this mental road block. It clearly indicates that focusing or attending too much on a topic might have a detrimental effect.

- Center-based care yields more behavior problems; in other types of care, problems short-lived
03-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
New data from a federally-funded longitudinal study show that that children who spent more time in center-based childcare exhibited more problem behavior through sixth grade. Quality of parenting was found to be a stronger and more consistent predictor of social functioning and achievement than early childcare experiences. Higher quality early childcare was also associated with better vocabularies through fifth grade. The study highlights some of the potential enduring effects of childcare and the implications.

A 17-year University of Utah study of ground movements shows that the power of the huge volcanic hotspot beneath Yellowstone National Park is much greater than previously thought when the giant volcano is slumbering. Findings show gradual ground movements overpower quake movements at Yellowstone, and the hotspot makes the Teton fault behave unexpectedly.
