| Individual and small-chain restaurant meals exceed recommended daily calorie needs Posted: 13 May 2013 02:40 PM PDT Researchers analyzed meals from independent and small-chain restaurants, which account for approximately 50% of the nation's restaurant locations. They found that the average single meal contained two to three times the estimated calorie needs of an individual adult at a single meal and 66% of typical daily calorie requirements.  |
| Grammar errors? The brain detects them even when you are unaware Posted: 13 May 2013 10:15 AM PDT Your brain often works on autopilot when it comes to grammar. That theory has been around for years, but neuroscientists have now captured elusive hard evidence that people indeed detect and process grammatical errors with no awareness of doing so.  |
| When deciding how to bet, less detailed information may be better Posted: 13 May 2013 09:33 AM PDT People are worse at predicting whether a sports team will win, lose, or tie when they bet on the final score than when they bet on the overall outcome, according to a new study.  |

| How multitasking can improve judgments Posted: 13 May 2013 05:30 AM PDT Multitasking does not always result in poor judgments. In fact, multitasking can improve performance -- provided that the task at hand can be best resolved by using a simpler, less demanding strategy, according to new research.  |
| Early formula use helps some mothers breastfeed longer Posted: 13 May 2013 05:28 AM PDT Recent public health efforts have focused extensively on reducing the amount of formula babies are given in the hospital after birth. But in the first randomized trial of its kind, researchers have found that giving small amounts of formula in the first few days of life to infants experiencing high levels of early weight loss actually can increase the length of time their mothers end up breastfeeding.  |
