Effects of Early Experience and Intervention on Children’s Brain Development: Empirical Insights and Educational Implications

Fri, April 25, 8:00 to 9:30am MDT (8:00 to 9:30am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 302

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium showcases four cutting-edge studies that spotlight the crucial connection between early experiences/interventions and children’s brain development. Using advanced neuroimaging methods like fNIRS, these studies delve into how educational strategies and environmental factors impact executive function, brain growth, and cognitive skills, specifically focusing on marginalized and special-needs groups. By offering or reviewing the neuroimaging evidence, this symposium aims to enrich educational approaches and policies by incorporating evidence-based practices. Ultimately, these studies shed light on the intricate relationship between brain development and learning and how targeted interventions can positively influence cognitive outcomes for diverse student populations.
