Predicting long-term success in college Posted: 16 Jul 2013 11:40 AM PDT Long-term success in college may be better predicted with Advanced Placement (AP) exams and personality traits in combination with standard admission practices, according to new research.

Dogs imitate novel human actions and store them in memory Posted: 16 Jul 2013 06:27 AM PDT Dogs can learn, retain and replay actions taught by humans after a short delay.

A new study published in Psychological Science looks at a possible brain mechanism that could explain how we hear this inner voice in the absence of actual sound.
