人民财评：“全脑开发”到底“开发”了什么

Group 1 - The concept of "whole brain development" is heavily marketed by various educational institutions, claiming to enhance children's cognitive abilities significantly, such as increasing concentration by 5 to 10 times and memory by 20 times [1][2] - Many of these institutions promote extraordinary claims, such as the ability to read 6000 words per minute, which raises skepticism about the validity of these assertions [1][2] - Despite the lack of scientific backing for these claims, the market for such products and services continues to thrive, driven by parents' desire to give their children a competitive edge [2][3] Group 2 - The commercialization of "whole brain development" often leads to a focus on financial gain rather than genuine cognitive enhancement, raising ethical concerns about the motivations behind these programs [2][3] - There is a significant regulatory gap in overseeing these educational institutions, as they do not fall under traditional educational regulations, making it difficult to assess the scientific validity of their programs [2] - Parents are encouraged to critically evaluate the claims made by these institutions, as the pursuit of creating "genius" children may lead to financial exploitation rather than actual developmental benefits [3]
