In 2005, he discovered a giant plant-eating dinosaur in southern Patagonia. He named the beast, which stood more than two stories tall and weighed more than a Boeing 737, Dreadnoughtus. Lacovara is currently the director of Rowan University\u2019s Jean and Ric Edelman Fossil Park, and visiting parents constantly tell him about kids who are crazy for dinosaurs.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"rKr3c LXM-U _8Fwvf GywVr\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-4dp5t\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"jpwv0\"><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span style=\"color:#717d97;text-decoration:inherit\"><span>\u2018I hear it over and over,\u2019 from parents, he says, \u2018They know all the names! I don\u2019t know how they remember that stuff.\u2019 But Lacovara does, or at least he has some theories. \u201cI think for many of these children, that\u2019s their first taste of mastery, of being an expert in something and having command of something their parent or coach or doctor doesn\u2019t know,\u201d he says. \u201cIt makes them feel powerful. Their parents may be able to name three or four dinosaurs and the kid can name 20, and the kid seems like a real authority.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"rKr3c LXM-U _8Fwvf GywVr\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-1b82g\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"jpwv0\"><span style=\"color:#717d97;text-decoration:inherit\"><span>Intense interests are a big confidence booster for kids, agrees Kelli Chen, a paediatric psychiatric occupational therapist at Johns Hopkins.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"rKr3c LXM-U _8Fwvf GywVr\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-b4en4\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"jpwv0\"><span style=\"color:#717d97;text-decoration:inherit\"><span>They\u2019re also particularly beneficial for cognitive development. A 2008 study found that sustained intense interests, particularly in a conceptual domain like dinosaurs, can help children develop increased knowledge and persistence, a better attention span, and deeper information-processing skills. In short, they make better learners and smarter kids. There\u2019s decades of research to back that up: Three separate studies have found that older children with intense interests tend to be of above-average intelligence.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<p class=\"rKr3c LXM-U _8Fwvf GywVr\" dir=\"auto\" id=\"viewer-7a0ec\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span class=\"jpwv0\"><span style=\"color:#717d97;text-decoration:inherit\"><span>A dino obsession, then, can be a kid\u2019s way of taking in a new subject in a way that feels familiar to them: through the business of having fun. <\/span><\/span><em style=\"font-style:italic\"><span style=\"color:#717d97;text-decoration:inherit\"><span>\u201cAsking questions, finding answers, and gaining expertise is the learning process in general,\u201d Chen says. \u201cExploring a topic and mastering it is beneficial because that\u2019s how we form careers as adults.
