Study Notes
Brain Development in Early Childhood
- A newborn baby's brain has nearly a hundred trillion connections by the age of three.
- Children who received more attention in their first few years often did not necessarily have lower IQs.
- The part of the brain responsible for speech is active during 'A-B-C' patterns, as seen in an experiment.
- A study in 2010 showed that the experiences a child has in their first few years have a significant impact on the development of the brain.
- Scientists are currently able to use new technology to 'see' into children's brains, monitoring brain development and activity.
Explore the fascinating topic of child brain development and the ways in which language, thinking, and planning skills evolve in early childhood. Learn about the use of new technology to study children's brain development and the impact of early experiences on brain development.
