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.
