This is a 'partner post' in Bold, a website funded by the Jacobs Foundation, based in Switzerland. It feels like they have an agenda, but I'm not sure what it could be over and above the official one stated here. The partner in this case is the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) Science of Learning journal. the article is a summary of the major findings; click the links to be taken to the outlines, and follow the outlines to the actual journal article, the bulk of which appear to be open access. What counts as 'science' in the journal appears still to be in need of some defining. Several articles are based on fMRI studies, which to me are the modern version of phrenology. Others are based on cognitive science and do things like semantic analyses of learned subjects in different conditions. There's even an article showing how parents' moral values impact children's EEG readings. Others are plain old statistical regression so commonly found in other education journals. But it's all interesting and probably better than reading the more popular press. Just remember that one article does not a generalization make.
