This is what we did. I still felt uneasy because the kid was there and willing to participate, so we also gave her the Grand Tour and showed them everything cool we could show. But this was really though indeed

Ok, development and ethics peeps, I have a testing dilemma for you:

A kid comes to the lab to take part in a neuroimaging study (EEG, MRI, cognition) with their mom. Consent is signed (only 1 legal guardian signature is required by ethics). The parents are divorced, the dad freaks out and

Children working in markets in India could solve complex applied math problems, but they couldn't solve easier problems when presented in an academic style. Kids in school had opposite results: good on abstract problems, but terrible on an applied market (i.e., real life) problem.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this !
