Psychologists know that this ability is present in elementary school-age children. Now a new study shows how this “metamemory” improves from childhood through adolescence, with accompanying changes in brain structure. The work is published this week in the <a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/06/29/1703079114.abstract"><em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</em></a>.</p> July 03, 2017 - 2:43pm Andy Fell /news/brain-changes-accompany-development-metamemory-childhood-adolescence Young Kids Get Physical and Intellectual Boost From Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements /news/young-kids-get-physical-and-intellectual-boost-lipid-based-nutrient-supplements-0 <p>In a study in Bangladesh,&nbsp;ٺƵ researchers and colleagues found that during&nbsp;children's first 1,000 days, lipid-based supplements can significantly boost growth and development.&nbsp;</p> March 08, 2017 - 10:33am Patricia Bailey /news/young-kids-get-physical-and-intellectual-boost-lipid-based-nutrient-supplements-0
