The Developing Architecture of a Child’s BrainMost people believe that with loving care, babies will naturally develop into healthy children. New science emphasizes that the developing brain is directly shaped by experience – an idea that is often difficult for laypeople to understand or accept. Cultural Logic developed an explanation based on the idea that experience affects the architecture of a baby’s brain. Testing demonstrates that this explanation greatly increases laypeople’s ability to learn new information. |

Cultural Logic’s research established that this is due in part to a conceptual blindness to what it is that Government actually does.
