Abstract:

Objective: Despite evidence of social skill deficits in children with ADHD, there is no consensus regarding a social cognitive profile and whether these skills predict behavior. Therefore, a comprehensive battery was used to investigate the relationship between social cognition and behavioral functioning. Method: Children ages 7 to 13 with ADHD ( n = 25) and controls ( n = 25) completed tests assessing social cognitive domains (affect recognition and theory of mind [ToM]). Parents completed measures of social cognition (pragmatic language ability and empathy), behavioral symptoms, and adaptive functioning. Results: Children with ADHD performed significantly worse on measures of cognitive ToM and affect recognition and received lower ratings of pragmatic language and cognitive empathy than typically developing peers. These domains, particularly pragmatic language, predicted parent ratings of problematic and adaptive behaviors. Conclusion: Results establish a relationship between specific social cognitive abilities and daily functioning, which has implications for treatment.

Abstract:

The majority of current research on childrens cognition concentrates on how vision and touch affect children's cognition. According to this study, aural environment and stimulation play a significant impact throughout a childs vital era in the development of their memory and cognitive abilities. This paper first describes the cognitive function and the key period in childrens cognitive development, then combines these concepts with measures to support childrens memory and cognitive growth. This research asserts that the auditory sense is particularly significant during the key era of children's cognitive development, it offers some references for creating suitable auditory environmental stimuli for children which are beneficial to the development of their cognitive level.

Abstract:

In ontogenesis, the period from 3 to 7 years is the age period of the kindergarten. Taking into account that there are very rapid qualitative changes in the psychology of preschool children, it is possible to divide the pre-school age into 3 periods (3-4 years), the junior preschool period (4-5 years), the junior kindergarten period (6-7 years), and the senior kindergarten period into 6-7 years. The child in the process of development begins a relationship with the world of subjects and phenomena created by the generation of personality. The child actively mastered and mastered all the achievements that humanity has achieved. Basically, from this period, the independent activity of the child begins to intensify. The education given to children of kindergarten age is a period of mastering their complex movements, formation of elementary hygiene, cultural and labor skills, development of speech and formation of the R with the first bud of social morality and aesthetic taste.

Abstract:

The effects of optimal and insufficient hydration on human health have received increasing investigation in recent years. Specifically, water is an essential nutrient for human health, and the importance of hydration on cognition has continued to attract research interest over the last decade. Despite this focus, children remain a relatively understudied population relative to the effects of hydration on cognition. Of those studies investigating children, findings have been inconsistent, resulting from utilizing a wide variety of cognitive domains and cognitive assessments, as well as varied hydration protocols. Here, our aim is to create a primer for assessing cognition during hydration research in children. Specifically, we review the definition of cognition and the domains of which it is composed, how cognition has been measured in both field- and laboratory-based assessments, results from neuroimaging methods, and the relationship between hydration and academic achievement in children. Lastly, future research considerations are discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract. Whereas a growing corpus of research has investigated the impact of music practice on several domains of cognition, studies on the relationships between musicality and other abilities and skills in musically untrained children are scarce. The present study examined the associations between musicality, cognition, and sensorimotor skills in 69 musically untrained primary school children of around 10 years of age, using a test battery of musical, cognitive, and sensorimotor abilities. We analyzed the results using nonparametric correlations and an exploratory factor analysis. It was our anticipation that basic cognitive resources (short-term and working memory, attention, processing speed) would relate to both higher-order cognition and musicality. Results indicated that, in musically untrained children, the interconnections between musical and cognitive abilities restrain to auditory short-term and working memory. Direct associations between musicality and higher-order cognitive processes did not occur. An interesting secondary finding comprised associations between sensorimotor function, as measured by the Purdue Pegboard test, and higher-order cognition. Specifically, we found an association between bimanual coordination of fine finger dexterity and matrix reasoning. This outcome suggests that higher-order cognitive function benefits from an efficient mastering of procedural aspects of sensorimotor skills.

Abstract:

Ten children with specific language impairment and 10 children with normal language development were asked to describe objects so that a listener could select them. Each trial targeted two out of a group of three toys. The targeted objects were identical or were similar in size or color. Children in the two groups did not differ in referential success, although children in both groups found the size items more difficult. Content analysis of the messages did reveal differences in the referential strategies used most frequently. Children with specific language impairment were more likely to mention the attributes of each object separately, rather than to describe the characteristics common to a pair of objects. Children in both groups talked about separate objects more often when talking about size than about color or object type. Use of this strategy could indicate the effects of attentional capacity on children's solutions to communication tasks.

Abstract:

SUMMARYThe paper considers briefly the nature of cognition and its relationship to intelligence. The information processing model of human cognition is outlined and IQ and DQ are explained. The literature dealing with the effects of malnutrition and parasitic infection on cognitive performance and development in children is selectively reviewed. A speculative hypothesis concerning the psychological effects of parasitic infection is sketched and brief consideration is given to models and measures in research on development.

Abstract:

This article aimed to systematically review the literature on the cognition of children exposed to Zika virus infection (ZIKV) during pregnancy. After searching the main electronic databases, PubMed, Capes, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane and BVS, the keywords “Zika virus”, “ZIKV infection”, “pregnancy”, “congenital”, “congenital syndrome”, “development”, “Cognition”, “neurodevelopment”, “child”, “infants”, “neuropsychology”, “developmental disorders”, “Bayley”, “Denver” were used for systematic data search. After applying the eligibility criteria for inclusion, 20 articles related to the cognitive assessment of children exposed to intrauterine ZIKV published until 2019 November, were selected. The systematic review identified the following as the main results: delayed cognition, motor skills, language and personal social domain, with worse performance in children with microcephaly or other severe brain injuries. Most normocephalic children exposed to ZIKV showed performance compatible with age. However, a smaller number of normocephalic children had a low score in at least one evaluated cognitive domain, characterizing specific developmental deficits. This review highlights the high risk of intrauterine ZIKV exposure to neurodevelopment and suggests investigating the cognitive development of all children exposed to ZIKV for long-term cognitive profiling, allowing early access to multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs.

Abstract:

Statistical evidence indicates that need for cognition scores may be linked to the number of male children in the family. Responses from 33 female and 46 male university students indicated that the independent variable of number of male children in the family was related to need for cognition scores. The number of female children was not related. The concept of cognitive style as related to Jungian psychological type theory is discussed as a partial explanation.

Full text

Abstract:

Higher-order cognitive functions, such as executive function (EF) and intelligence, are crucial to the everyday functioning of human beings. Gaining knowledge about these functions is important for our general understanding of human nature as well as for our ability to help those who may not develop these processes optimally. The present thesis focused particularly on the EF component working memory (WM), described as the ability to maintain informa-tion in consciousness during short time periods with the purpose of using that information in complex cognition. The major aims of the thesis were to increase our understanding of higher-order cognition in children as well as of deficiencies in intelligence found in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We approached these aims by studying the interrelations among EF-related components in terms of their independent contributions to intellectual functioning. We also studied whether the lower intelligence in children with ADHD was mediated by fundamental EF-related components or whether these deficiencies went beyond the weaknesses in these specific cognitive functions.

Interpreting the present data, we suggest that intellectual functioning in children is best viewed as representing a system of primarily independent parts that may be accompanied by an overarching common mechanism. The multiple components involve, but are surely not limited to, WM functions, inhibitory functions, sustained attention, and processing speed. One of these functions, WM, was found to be further partitioned into domain-specific executive WM processes and domain-specific short-term storage processes, all of which constitute important aspects of higher-order cognitive functioning. We have further learned that deficits in fluid intelligence in children with ADHD may entail more than weaknesses in specific central cognitive functions. This additional deficit is cautiously interpreted as involving supe-rior executive attention functions setting the stage for the development and integration of the EF system as well as the “intelligence system”.

Abstract:

Visual-spatial cognition was examined in typically developing children. Fifty-six children between 3- to 10-years-old completed a comprehensive battery of cognitive tasks that tapped 8 components of visual-spatial functioning. Results demonstrate that task complexity and age interact across the majority of visual-spatial sub-domains, with visual-spatial competencies increasing linearly with age. Examination of acquisition rates showed that after 8 years of age children are capable of performing each measure significantly better than chance. Gender-age-related findings suggest males demonstrate superior visual-spatial mental rotation skills only until 9-10 years of age, than females begin to surpass males. Visual-spatial cognition and mathematical performance was also investigated in typical children. Children's visual-spatial mental rotation and manipulation and visual-spatial directionality abilities were positively correlated with mathematical performance.

L'examen des taux d'acquisition a montré que, après 8 ans d'âge, les enfants sont capables d'effectuer des chaque mesure nettement mieux que la chance. Entre les sexes liées à l'âge résultats suggèrent hommes démontrer supérieure visuelle-spatiale mental rotation compétences que jusqu'à 9-10 ans, que les femmes commencent à dépasser les hommes. Visual-cognition spatiale et de mathématiques de performance a également été étudiée dans le type d'enfants. Children's visuelle-spatiale de rotation et de la manipulation mentale et visuelle-spatiale directionalité capacités ont été positivement corrélé avec la performance mathématique.

Abstract:

The present thesis investigated cognitive ability in children with severe to profound hearing impairment who have received cochlear implants (CIs). The auditory stimulation from a cochlear implant early in life influences most cognitive functions as a consequence of the plasticity of the brain in the young child. It is important to understand the cognitive consequences of auditory stimulation from CIs in order to provide adequate support to these children. This thesis examined three specific aspects of cognitive ability (working memory, phonological skill and lexical access), and reading ability in children with CIs, as compared to children with normal hearing in the same age. The relations between cognitive abilities and reading skills were also investigated, as well as the associations between demographic variables (e.g., age at implantation and communication mode), cognitive abilities and reading skills. The children with CI generally had lower performance levels than the normal hearing children in tasks of phonological and general working memory, phonological skills and lexical access. They had specific problems in tasks with high demands on phonological working memory, whereas their performance levels in tasks of visuospatial working memory were on par with the hearing children. A majority of the children with CI demonstrated reading skills within the normal range for hearing children, both for decoding and reading comprehension. The relations between demographic factors and cognitive skills varied somewhat between the studies. The patterns of result are discussed with reference to contemporary theories of working memory, phonological skills, and lexical access.
Avhandlingens övergripande syfte var att studera kognitiva förmågor hos barn med grav hörselskada eller dövhet som fått cochleaimplantat (CI). Auditiv stimulering från CI i tidig ålder påverkar de flesta kognitiva funktioner som en följd av hjärnans plasticitet hos små barn. Det är viktigt att förstå de kognitiva konsekvenserna av auditiv stimulering från CI för att kunna ge dessa barn bästa möjliga stöd. Avhandlingen undersökte tre specifika aspekter av kognitiv förmåga (arbetsminne, fonologiska förmågor och lexikal aktivering), samt läsförmåga hos barn med CI, i jämförelse med barn med normal hörsel i samma åldrar. Relationerna mellan kognitiva förmågor och läsförmåga studerades också, liksom sambanden mellan demografiska faktorer (t ex implantationsålder och kommunikationssätt) och kognitiva förmågor samt läsfärdigheter. Barnen med CI hade generellt lägre prestationsnivå än barnen med normal hörsel i uppgifter som mäter fonologiskt och generellt arbetsminne, fonologiska förmågor och lexikal aktivering. De hade specifika problem i uppgifter som i hög grad belastar fonologiskt arbetsminne, medan deras visuospatiala arbetsminneskapacitet var jämförbar med den hos barnen med normal hörsel. Majoriteten av barnen med CI hade läsfärdigheter i nivå med normalhörande barn, för både avkodning och läsförståelse. Sambanden mellan demografiska faktorer och kognitiva förmågor och läsförmåga varierade mellan studierna. Resultatmönstren diskuteras utifrån teorier om arbetsminne, fonologiska färdigheter och lexikal aktivering.

Abstract:

Understanding others’ emotions and false beliefs, known as Theory of Mind (ToM), and to recognise and produce facial expressions of emotion has been linked to social competence. Deaf children born to hearing parents have commonly shown a deficit, or at best a delay in ToM. The emotion processing skills of deaf children are less clear. The main aims of this thesis were to clarify the ability of emotion recognition in deaf children, and to provide the first investigation in emotion production. While deaf children were poorer than hearing controls at recognising expressions of emotion in cartoon faces, a similar pattern was found in both groups’ recognition of real human faces of the six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust and surprise). For deaf children, emotion recognition was better in dynamic rather than static, and intense rather than subtle, displays of emotion. With the exception of disgust, no differences in individual emotions were found, suggesting that the use of ecologically valid dynamic real faces facilitates deaf children’s emotion recognition. Deaf children’s ability to produce the six basic emotions was compared to hearing children by videoing voluntary encodings of facial expression elicited via verbal labels and emotion signed stories, and the imitation of dynamic displays of real facial expressions of emotion. With the exception of a poorer performance in imitation and the verbally elicited production of disgust, deaf children were consistently rated by human judges overall as producing more recognisable and intense expressions, suggesting that clarity and expressiveness may be important to deaf individuals’ emotion display rules. In line with previous studies, results showed a delay in passing the first and second order belief tasks in comparison to age matched controls, but not in comparison to a group of ‘age appropriate’ hearing control children. These findings encouragingly suggest that while deaf children of hearing parents show a delay in ToM and understanding disgust, emotion processing skills follow a broadly similar pattern of development to hearing control children. Language experience is implicated in difficulties faced in social and emotion cognition, with reduced opportunities to discuss more complex emotional and mental states.

Abstract:

Almanacs are one of the most characteristic subgenres of early modern and modern popular print. One of the keys of their persistence was their ability to evolve over time, which led, among other things, to the publication of almanacs for children. The latter, randomly preserved in libraries and archives, are still largely unexplored by both book historians and scholars of children’s literature. After a brief introduction on the history of almanacs, the chapter describes the contents and materiality of selected examples of almanacs for children from a range of European countries (Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain), printed between 1750 and 1900. By placing these items in the sociocultural context in which they were issued, the chapter attempts to understand the strategies put in place by international authors and publishers.

Abstract:

This paper is based on the cognitive characteristics of Chinese children. Through literature review and user study, we understand that children prefer pictures and videos for information acquisition, and they are more concerned with saturated colours. What’s more children are more willing to experience and interact in action. Therefore, this article addresses the above characteristics, takes the prevention of children's myopia as the application scenario, and combines the most common information media that children currently come into contact with, to design a game interface that is suitable for children's cognitive characteristics. The design runs in the form of a game that can make children willing to interact and willing to accept the treatment of myopia prevention. And using a smartwatch, which is commonly used by Chinese children as an information medium, saturated colours and cute, rounded design elements are used to ultimately design the game interface. Finally, the paper combines interviews and research with children to understand that the design meets the cognitive and aesthetic needs of children and has gained their approval.

Abstract:

Childhood is the golden period of physical and mental growth and the embryonic stage of self-knowledge. From previous scholars' research, if parents habitually use negative language to teach, it will have many adverse effects on children and hinder healthy, positive development. This paper aims to analyze the adverse effects of the influence of negative words on children's behavior, psychology and cognition through Satir's theory. Children will get used to using negative words, affect their emotions and correct value judgment, and hinder the formation of good cognition. This paper uses the desktop research method and takes parents who frequently use negative words as the subject of this study. In order to create a family environment suitable for children's physical and mental development, two improvement methods of "consistent communication" and "growth mode" were put forward.

Full text

Abstract:

We investigated how attachment styles between parents and children, as well as the coping styles taught by parents to their children, affect sensitivity to social exclusion using psychological assessments based on questionnaire surveys. Additionally, we examined whether differences in sensitivity to social distress could be detected as differences in activation sites in the brain using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measurements with the Cyberball Paradigm. The results suggested a potential correlation between children's own coping styles and their cognitive perception of parental guidance. However, no correlation was observed between parental guidance and children's cognition. Furthermore, in the group experiencing high levels of social distress, specific brain regions, the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) and anterior prefrontal cortex (APFC), were significantly more active during the experience of social distress. Several activations in brain regions not previously reported in conventional research were also observed. These findings suggest that the way parents interact with their children and the content of parental education may have an impact on children's future sensitivity to social distress.

Abstract:

Purpose With the promulgation of China's "Three-child Policy", the cardinal number of children population has surged. The era of parent-child format arrives. Since ancient times, China has emphasized on education. With the development of the internet, people have improved the Chinese character position unprecedently. In recent years, the game education APP of mobile terminal has developed with irresistible force due to the development of the mobile devices and the influence of COVID-19. But due to its virtual property, offline interaction is weak, and it isn't easy to review and memorize. The preschool children at the age of 3-6 focus on the concrete thinking, and their recognition to external things mainly depends on the concretization and representation of things and the association of representation, accordingly constructing knowledge. Therefore, under the trend of reduction of excessive homework burden and off-campus tutoring, it is critical to inquire how to effectively build the popular online and offline "AR game gene" in design research. Method The significance and opportunity for etymon literacy method to be introduced to children Chinese game design is found through theoretical research; The AR technology is used in practice through technical research to build the design method of virtual and real interaction; The law of development of Children's cognition and motion interaction is researched and the characteristics of word root and grapheme of Chinese characters are split and combined to find the coherence point of Children's cognitive development and literacy method and design a set of suitable Chinese character formula, excavating the similarity of word formation thought and design thought, and enlightening children's thought with word formation; Results Chinese character laboratory aims at the children at the age of 3-6 [critical period of Whole Brain Development], is oriented by the development of multiple intelligence of children, and takes AR foundation as technological base. The whole design research is analyzed in this paper and the work formation process is summarized. Conclusions The etymon literacy method and AR experimental game are of important innovative significance in children's thinking development. Chinese character laboratory fully considers the uniqueness of children in social cognition in design through etymon literacy method, will utilize children's curiosity to introduce laboratory concept, namely experiment is game, and conducts series connection of commonly used characters in the form of Chinese character atlas from fragment to systematization. In the meanwhile, AR children's interactive games are characterized by the vivid and interesting virtual Chinese character model, entity Chinese character card, AR technology's unique interactivity, immersion and imagination, and utilize the computer technology to achieve interaction, conforming to the children's concrete thinking. In the future, technology will gradually replace mankind's left brain for calculation and analysis, but the creative thinking controlled by right brain can't be substituted by technology, because the knowledge is limited, but the imagination and creativity are limitless. This design breaks through the boundedness, singleness and fragmentization of current Chinese character literacy for children, which not only can promote the development of comprehensive quality and creative thinking, but also can help children learn Chinese characters in open thinking. So it is considered as a key to develop the potential of children in all directions.

Abstract:

The current traditional teaching mode of children's architectural education makes children's bodies detached from the situation, and there are problems such as abstract knowledge, single perception, and lack of practice. Based on the concept of embodied learning, this paper proposes a design strategy for embodied learning situations, and on this theoretical basis, designs and implements children's educational practice services based on Huayao's traditional architectural culture. Firstly, through literature research, based on situational learning and embodied cognition theory, analyze the characteristics of children's cognition, explore the internal connection between situation and children's architectural education, discuss the significance of embodied theory in the design of learning situations, and draw the conclusion of the learning process of embodied situations. Three stages, namely perception, engagement, and reflection on the situation. On this basis, it proposes the design strategy of embodied learning situation, and discusses four aspects: daily cultural situation, embodied resource situation, role task situation, and evaluation generation situation. Provide an effective reference for the design of architectural education activities for children, and design learning situations through embodied concepts to help children in architectural education activities to explore interaction, knowledge transfer, and cultural generation, and improve creativity and innovative thinking.

Abstract:

Review question / Objective: To our knowledge, no meta-analysis has summarized social cognitive performance in children and adolescents with epilepsy as independent groups. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to examine differences between children and adolescents with epilepsy and HCs in terms of ToM and FER performance. Condition being studied: Epilepsy is characterized by chronic, unprovoked and recurrent seizures, is the most frequent neurological disease in childhood and usually occurs in early development. Worldwide, it is estimated that approximately 50 million people suffer from the pain of epileptic seizures, with more than half of the cases beginning in childhood and adolescence. So a comprehensive understanding of children and adolescence with epilepsy has become the focus of widespread attention. Recently, a number of studies have assessed ToM or facial emotion recognition deficits in children and adolescents with epilepsy, but the conclusions are inconsistent. These inconsistent findings might be related to the small sample sizes in most studies. Additionally, the methods used to evaluate ToM or facial emotion recognition performance were varied across studies. A meta-analysis can increase statistical power, estimate the severity of these deficits, and help resolve conflicting findings.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper examines the causal link between early childhood nutrition and cognition, applying instrumental variables to sibling-differences for a sample of preschool aged Peruvian children. Child-specific shocks in the form of food price changes and household shocks during the critical developmental period of a child are used as instruments. The analysis shows significant and positive returns to early childhood nutritional investments. An increase in the Height-for-Age z-score of one standard deviation -keeping other factors constant- translates into increases in the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) score of 17-21 percent of a standard deviation. The period of analysis includes the recent global food price crisis that also affected Peru between 2006 and 2008. This therefore is also a quantification of the nutritional and subsequent cognitive costs of food prices on the sample, which could be magnified in later years.

Full text

Abstract:

We study the socio-economic gradient of child development on a representative sample of low- and middle-income children aged 6-42 months in Bogota, using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, a high quality test based on direct observation of the child's abilities. We find a statistically significant difference between children in the 90th and 10th percentile of the wealth distribution in our sample of 0.33 standard deviations (SD) in cognition, 0.29 SD in receptive language and 0.38 SD in expressive language at 14 months. The socio-economic gap increases substantially with age to 1 SD (cognition), 0.80 SD (receptive language) and 0.69 SD (expressivelanguage) by 42 months. While the gap persists after controlling for mediating factors such as parental and biomedical characteristics, the level of stimulation in the home, and the quality of the institutional care setting; its size is significantly reduced by variables related to the home environment i.e. parental investments in care quantity and quality. These findings have important implications for the design of well-targeted, effective and timely interventions that promote early childhood development.

Full text

Abstract:

Gaps in child development by socioeconomic status (SES) start early in life, are large and can increase inequalities later in life. We use recent national-level, cross-sectional and longitudinal data to examine inequalities in child development (namely, language, cognition, and socio-emotional skills) of children 0-5 in five Latin American countries (Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay). In the cross-section analysis, we find statistically significant gaps with inequality patterns that widely differ across countries. For instance, gaps in language and cognition for Uruguay and Chile are much smaller than those for Colombia and Peru. When turning to the longitudinal data, average SES gaps are similar to those of the cross-section in language but differ substantially in cognition, mainly in Uruguay where they emerge as more unequal when cohort effects do not operate. Importantly, we also find that the ECD gaps found at early ages (0-5), still manifest 6-12 years later in almost all locations and realms in which we have measures of early child development, but they do not increase with age. Results are robust to using different measures of inequality (income and maternal education). Gaps are smaller but generally remain when adjusting for possible explanatory factors (e.g., family structure, parental education, geographic fixed effects). To reduce ECD inequality and promote equality in later life outcomes, policymakers should look to implementing evidence-based interventions at scale to improve developmental outcomes of the most disadvantaged children in society.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper presents findings from the Regional Project on Child Development Indicators, PRIDI for its acronym in Spanish. PRIDI created a new tool, the Engle Scale, for evaluating development in children aged 24 to 59 months in four domains: cognition, language and communication, socio-emotional and motor skills. It also captures and identifies factors associated with child development. The Engle Scale was applied in nationally representative samples in four Latin American countries: Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru. The results presented here are descriptive, but they offer new insight regarding the complexity of child development in Latin America. The basic message emerging from this study is that child development in Latin America is unequal. Inequality in results appears as early as 24 months and increases with age. There is variation in inequality. For example, correlations with the socio-economic characteristics of the home and maternal education are stronger for cognition, and language and communication than for motor development. The environment within which children develop and the adult-child interactions predominant within this environment ¿ referred to in this study as the nurturing environment - is important for all domains of child development utilized in this study, although stronger associations appear for cognition, language and communication, and socio-emotional development. For all domains measured by the Engle Scale, the nurturing environment bears a statistically stronger correlation than the socio-economic endowment of the home or maternal education. Gaps between the development of children in the top and low extremes in these factors matter. By 59 months, the development of a poor and under-nurtured child will lag by as much as 18 months behind her richer and more nurtured peers. For this child it will be more difficult to recognize basic shapes like triangles or squares, count to 20, or understand temporal sequences. She will also have gaps in her basic executive functioning and socio-emotional skills, including empathy and autonomy. She will not likely be ready for school and may not have success once there. Notably, however, if this same child, in the same poor household, were to benefit from a nurturing environment, her level of development would rise and would start to approach levels found in children in richer but less nurtured households. The nurturing environment thus appears to mitigate the negative association lower levels of wealth have with the domains of development included in this study.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, there exists an important digital divide which can have important implications for children's educational development. In particular, many children in the region lack access to the internet at home, which could potentially impact their academic and cognitive growth. The potential implications of lack of digital resources on childrens development took center stage during the school closures induced by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

This paper examines early childhood development (ECD) outcomes and their association with family characteristics, investments, and environmental factors, with particular emphasis on the inter- generational transmission of cognitive abilities. The paper examines the causal relationship between parental cognitive abilities and ECD outcomes of their offspring using a rich data set from rural Guatemala that can account for such unobservable factors. A 10 percent increase in maternal Raven's scores increase children's Raven's scores by 7.8 percent. A 10 percent increase in maternal reading and vocabulary skills increases children's score on a standard vocabulary test by 5 percent. Effects are larger for older children, and the impact of maternal cognitive skills is larger than for paternal skills.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter provides an account of the major family transformations that occurred in recent decades across Latin American and Caribbean countries and examines the implications of such transformations for childrens school attendance and progress and womens labor force participation. Latin American and Caribbean families and households have undergone substantial changes in recent years while keeping some of their distinctive features unchanged (Esteve et al., 2022; Esteve & Florez-Paredes, 2018a; Juárez & Gayet, 2014). This combination of stability and change has had profound transformations in the family status in which women raise their children and the family context in which children are raised. We refer to family context as the combination of womens marital status and the type of households in which children reside. We combine references to the literature and own calculations based on Latin American and Caribbean population census samples, available at the Integrated Public-use Microdata Series International (IPUMS) (Minnesota Population Center, 2020). We use data from 25 countries based on the most recent census microdata and, in some instances, historical samples starting in the late 1950s (see Appendix 1). The chapter is organized as follows. First, we document trends in family change and childrens status. To illustrate family change empirically, we focus on women aged 25 to 29 and children aged 7 to 16. For reasons that will be displayed during the paper, these groups offer a reliable overview of major transformations with the advantage of avoiding overlapping cohorts when data are analyzed over time. Variations by educational attainment are also examined to illustrate the role of inequality of opportunities in family change. Second, we focus on the implications of family forms on children's school attendance and progress and women's participation in the labor market. In the absence of tailored indicators about progress in cognitive and non-cognitive skills, school attendance and progress are standard indicators of early human capital accumulation (UNESCO, 2022). We examine these two outcomes among more than 15 million children included in the IPUMS-I census samples. For women, we examine the degree of participation in the labor market (n 16 million).
