Cognitive Abilities and Testing Early Childhood Education and Development Child and Animal Learning Development

Abstract

Relations between cognitive development in infancy and early childhood, and parental education were examined. Previous research has found little association between measures of the parenting environment, including parental education and socio-economic status (SES), and cognitive development in infants and children under 2 years of age. However, the earlier studies may not have reliably measured individual differences in cognitive abilities, thus, there is uncertainty as to what age elements in the parental environment affect cognitive development. Seventy-six infants were tested on a range of cognitive tasks at 3-month intervals between the ages of 9 and 18 months. Information on parental education (a component of SES) was collected. Seventy-one of the children returned at 27 months and completed the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Mental Scale, which was used as an outcome measure for the earlier tasks. The findings present a clear indication that cognitive development in early childhood is affected by the parenting environment, at least from as early as 12 months.
