People might be interested in this interview, which appeared on NPR's Speaking of Faith. Dr. Diamond discusses how her research shows how activities like play, music, and sports are vital for cognitive development. An interesting discussion, especially when things like music and play and art are being reduced or eliminated from schools for the sake of standardized tests.
