Researchers tested how adults aged 17 to 80 perform on a virtual reality tool called the Nesplora Ice Cream test to check their thinking and planning skills. They found three important skills: planning, learning, and flexibility, and made charts to see how people of different ages and genders did on the test. This helps doctors spot problems early and help people with thinking problems in a better way.

Scientists tested big groups of people from China and the USA to see if they experienced the McGurk effect differently. They found that both groups had similar results, but there was a lot of difference within each group, meaning more tests are needed to understand it better.
