Enhanced episodic specificity and socioemotional content in older adults’ everyday autobiographical thoughts
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 2, January 2026.
Cognitive aging research has long observed that older adults’ autobiographical memories and future thoughts, as assessed in laboratory contexts, lack spatiotemporal detail compared to young adults. Does this pattern also hold in everyday contexts? Across ...

Helping decisions across 100 real-life scenarios were modeled as a socioemotional cost–benefit tradeoff combined with
an individual helping bias. Model parameters varied systematically with empathy, agreeableness, and punishment

A new study from OHSU found air pollution even at levels the EPA consider safe, can impact adolescent brain development. Exposure to common air pollutants is associated with accelerated cortical thinning in areas of the brain responsible for language, mood regulation & socioemotional processing.

Turning Eeyore into someone who says, "I wanted to paint the blue sky, but I can paint clouds too!" isn't just a crime against adaptation (altho it IS), it's a DEVASTATION of principles and best practices of creating media for children, ESPECIALLY when you market it as "socioemotional education"

there's broadly speaking two types of libertarians:
1. socioemotional children who like that it excuses their worst impulses and
2. a much smaller group of people who come by it "honestly" as a less overtly cruel and more internally self-consistent version of Conservativism.

That sucks. I understand not having access to socioemotional resources as kids… but times have changed. If they can learn to work an iPad, they can manage their own emotions (just like kids do!).
