Table 2. Operationally defined neuromyths believed by 50% or more of participants in either group at pre-test.

III-6. Environments that provide rich stimuli improve the brain function of pre-school children.	88	98	84	90
III-9. There are critical periods in childhood after which certain abilities can no longer develop and certain skills can no longer be learned.	66	88	55	59

VI-6. It has been scientifically proven that fatty acid supplements (omega-3 and omega-6) have a positive effect on academic achievement.	60	46	37	24

The data are the percentage of participants that incorrectly endorsed the neuromyth (i.e., responded “yes” to an incorrect statement).
