Early Life and Education
Early brain development is fundamental for children’s ability to learn and develop, setting the course for their lifetime. That is why researchers have dedicated decades to researching this area of neuroscience.
On this episode of School’s In, Jonas Miller, a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford Neurodevelopment, Affect and Psychopathology Lab, joins Dean Dan Schwartz and Senior Lecturer Denise Pope to explore how early experiences from birth (even prenatally) shape future learning capacity, behavior as well as physical and mental health.
Research demonstrates that both adverse and supportive early experiences have an impact on learning and behaviors in ways which may compound over time. That is why rethinking the early childhood experience is so important for improving long-term outcomes for our youngest citizens.
