GREEN BRAIN

Product Information

A recent study noted that older adults are no more likely to fall for fake news than younger adults (Pehlivanoglu et al. 2022) and that age-related susceptibility to deceptive news was only evident in those categorized as the “oldest old” (over the age of 85). Aging was found to be associated with a broader knowledge base, more life experience, often a more positive affect, and more time to consume news. However, the researchers postulate that the “oldest old” are more susceptible to misinformation as these protective factors cannot fully compensate for their cognitive declines. Green Brain won a Highly Commended accolade in the Estates, Facilities and Systems Management category at the Leading Healthcare Awards 2020. The Green Brain team aimed to make a neurologically based model of the honeybee brain and embody it within robotic platforms.

It is also easy to think that it is possible to spoil children or students by loving them too much. False. Just as with feeling unsafe, feeling unloved or unvalued also hinders learning and functioning well. And science proves why. (See Yellow Brain below.)
