- Seventy percent of parents have tried to recreate a vacation memory from their own childhood. This includes bringing their family to a destination they traveled to as a child (59 percent), doing the same activities during a trip (51 percent) and going to restaurants they remember from their childhood (46 percent). Of the 2,000 parents surveyed, 45 percent have recreated photographs with their children and 41 percent have stayed at the same hotel or lodging they remember from their own childhood.
- Watching a lot of television in later life can damage memory of words and language. Research (University College London) examined the effects of television viewing among 3,662 adults aged 50 and over. It found that watching more than three-and-a-half hours per day was associated with a decline in memory of words and language over the following six years. Put down that TV remote, and keep listening to KWFC Radio.
- One more time… is extra sleep on the weekend enough to fix health issues aggravated by insufficient sleep? No. A new study (University of Colorado Boulder) backs up what a number of other studies have said over the years: you can’t fix what’s broken by catching up on your sleep. There’s no such thing as catching up on sleep.
- Never trust anyone after lunch. A study (Harvard and University of Utah) revealed people tend to be a lot more honest in the morning. In a series of experiments, people were asked to solve math problems — some of which were impossible — either in the morning or afternoon, and were told they’d be paid five cents per correct answer. They were then asked to self-report their scores. The result: Afternoon people were 20% to 50% more likely to cheat. Our self-restraint is stronger in the morning because our energy stores are higher. As our batteries drain — and this study suggests that even everyday activities drain them — we become less ethical. Another factor is sleep, which is needed to recharge our moral batteries.
- Kids won’t eat their vegetables? Scientists say we may need to rename them. In a study, 186 four-year-olds were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables renamed X-ray Vision Carrots. On the latter days, they ate nearly twice as many. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they were no longer labeled as anything special.… Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Fillet was changed to Succulent Italian Seafood Fillet, sales increased 28 percent and taste rating increased by 12 percent.
