"Provocative" yes. Definitive, no. But it is worth exploring, and if the impact is enduring, it would be wonderful. I am also curious about how the specific performance broke down by level of educational attainment (as in, did the performance of the high school students improve in the same way as the performance of those with a college education? with PhDs?). I need to know more about the design of this study before I can get too excited about it.
