| Location matters when it comes to deal-making, says new study Posted: 08 Apr 2014 12:44 PM PDT Even six-year-olds know who you sit beside matters, whether you're in first grade or at a high-powered dinner. But now a new study, using the US Senate Chamber as its laboratory, provides documented evidence of that phenomenon.

The study revealed that blue logos invoked feelings of confidence, success and reliability; green logos invoked perceptions of environmental friendliness, toughness, durability, masculinity and sustainability; purple logos invoked femininity, glamor and charm; pink logos gave the perception of youth, imagination and fashionable; yellow logos invoked perceptions of fun and modernity; and red logos brought feelings of expertise and self-assurance. |
| From learning in infancy to planning ahead in adulthood: Sleep's vital role for memory Posted: 08 Apr 2014 08:17 AM PDT Babies and young children make giant developmental leaps all of the time. Sometimes, it seems, even overnight they figure out how to recognize certain shapes or what the word 'no' means no matter who says it. It turns out that making those leaps could be a nap away: New research finds that infants who nap are better able to apply lessons learned to new skills, while preschoolers are better able to retain learned knowledge after napping. |
