37、son found.Our findings serve as an example of how our beliefs can be wrong and how itsimportant to do research,”said co-author Yuichi Shoda,PhD at the University of Washington.The researchers offered several possible explanations for why children in the 2000s waited longerthan those in prior decades
38、.They noted a statistically significant increase in IQ scores in the last severaldecades.Another explanation may be societys increased focus on the importance of early education,according to Carlson.The primary objective of preschool changed from largely custodial care(监护)to3school readiness in the
