HealthDay (2/15, Murez) reports that for a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience, researchers “used brain scans and challenging work to assess how kids and adults might work through…tough problems and whether or not their problem-solving processes were the same.” The team “found that while the multiple demand network is not fully developed in kids, it operates similarly to the way it does in adults, said” the senior study author who explained, “We found that the multiple demand network was a distinct network even in young children, and was separate from the language network, just as it is in adults.”
