Brain imaging and electrophysiology biomarkers: Is there a role in poverty and education outcome research?
Pediatric Neurology
Pre-kindergarten educational interventions represent a popular approach to improving educational outcomes, especially in children from poor households. Children from lower socioeconomic groups are at increased risk for delays in cognitive development that are important for school success. These delays, which may stem from stress associated with poverty, often develop before kindergarten. Early interventions have been proposed but there is a need for more information on effectiveness. By assessing socioeconomic differences in brain structure and function, we may better be able to track the neurobiological basis underlying children's cognitive improvement.
