designer of DragonBox Algebra here...
0- i totally agree with your post : )
1-the game was never conceived as a headstart product!
2-our goal is to deliver products that introduce the big ideas in math in an engaging and efficient way, because math can be such an unnecessary pain for many children
3-we recommend to play DragonBox with family members : )
4- your reference [1] could be about self regulation (social interaction primarily) and academic achievement: http://people.oregonstate.edu/~mcclellm/ms/Morrison,%20Ponitz,%20McClelland%20in%20press.pdf http://people.oregonstate.edu/~mcclellm/ms/Morrison,%20Ponit...

- jbhkb1 11y agointeresting point. It was not conceived as headstart, but it is sold as headstart. I want it as a real game, and i want it as an efficient learning tool. I want it for discovery and shared learning moment, and i want it for avoiding math challenges later. I want it for pleasure and i want it to teach very difficult stuff quickly. Seems like many contradictions here. arghh u revealed that i m human i guess : ), with incompatible goals and complex realities. At the same time, this complexity and contradiction makes it a very interesting challenge : )
