My apologies to newsletter subscribers for my omission of the address of the memory training site I mentioned. I have put it in the online issue. For those of you who are interested, it is

The latest newsletter is now online. In it I discuss source memory problems in older adults -- why older adults often can't remember where they heard something, suffer more confused memories, experience more cases of deja vu, and are more easily persuaded of false memories.

A new report has just come out in Britain revealing that children from disadvantaged families are already lagging a full year behind their middle-class contemporaries in social and educational development by the age of three. The study involved 15,500 children born between 2000 and 2002. Three year olds whose parents were university graduates were ten months ahead of those whose parents had few educational qualifications in vocabulary, and twelve months ahead in their understanding of colors, letters, numbers, sizes and shapes.
