Children who are expelled from preschool are subsequently more likely to experience academic failure and enter what scientists and advocates call the “cradle-to-prison pipeline,” meaning that these children tend to follow a trajectory away from school and toward the criminal justice system. Preschool expulsion may be less likely, however, if a teacher perceives parents to be cooperative during discussions about the child’s challenging behavior, according to a study published in Prevention Science by Drs. Courtney Zulauf-McCurdy, Rechele Brooks and Andrew Meltzoff.

Artificial intelligence spots hidden signs of depression in students’ facial expressions

Waseda University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Depression is often linked to changes in facial expressions. However, the link between mild depression, known as subthreshold depression, and changes in facial expressions remains unclear. Now, researchers have investigated whether subthreshold depression shows changes in facial expressions in Japanese young adults using artificial intelligence. The findings reveal distinct muscle movement patterns related to depressive symptoms which may help detect depression early, paving the way for timely and preventative mental health care.

Navigating the knowledge paradox: Why having some answers can be worse than having none

Yonsei University

Temporally complex problem-solving environments are commonplace in organizations. In an innovative study, a researcher from Yonsei University, in collaboration with other scientists, has shown that limited external knowledge in such situations can lead to worse performance than having no external knowledge at all. These findings are expected to further organizational decision-making and strategy, education and training, public policy and healthcare, technology and AI integration, and individual career development.
