The science of early brain development can inform investments in early childhood. These basic concepts, established over decades of neuroscience and behavioral research, help illustrate why child development—particularly from birth to five years—is a foundation for a prosperous and sustainable society.

20 lut 2024 · In this chapter, the authors explore cognitive development across the first 5 years of life. Emphasis is on cognitive domains such as memory, attention, perception, executive functions, understanding of the physical world, and early numerical cognition.
18 cze 2023 · Understanding the ten theorists in which our beliefs about childhood, development, lifespan and how we learn, are vital to understanding early childhood development (from birth) to death and every learning experience in between. 10 key theorists and their philosophies shaped how we approach education today!
The basic architecture of the brain is constructed through an ongoing process that begins before birth and continues into adulthood. Simpler neural connections and skills form first, followed by more complex circuits and skills. In the first few years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections form every second.
The first five years of a child’s life are a critical period of development that shapes their future in profound ways. During these years, the brain undergoes rapid growth, laying the foundation for cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
16 lut 2018 · Here, Gilmore and colleagues give an overview of recent neuroimaging studies of the developmental trajectories of brain structure and function in the first years after birth.
The view of brain development that has emerged from the developmental neurobiology literature presents both challenges and opportunities to psychologists seeking to understand the fundamental processes that underlie social and cognitive development, and the neural systems that mediate them.
