Infant object individuation refers to the emerging capacity of young children to distinguish one physical object from another, a foundational element in early cognitive development. From their first ...

If you're a new parent, you might be using AI with your infant already—whether you know it or not. But while AI can be a useful tool for parents, it shouldn't be used with babies directly. Here's why.

Children who are too short for their age can suffer reduced cognitive ability arising from differences in brain function as early as six months of age, according to new research from the University of ...

The prenatal period is a critical window for brain development, yet few studies have examined the impact of air pollution exposure during pregnancy on child cognition. A new study led by the Barcelona ...

Investigators show that early exposure to a carbohydrate found in breast milk, called 2'FL, positively influences neurodevelopment. Maternal factors, such as breast milk, have been shown to affect a ...

The prenatal period is a critical window for brain development, yet few studies have examined the impact of air pollution exposure during pregnancy on child cognition. A new study led by the Barcelona ...

COVID-19 mitigation policies like masks, social distancing, lockdowns, and school closures may have harmed the cognitive development of infants: Verbal, non-verbal, and early learning scores dropped ...

Recent neuroscience research shows that our brain’s organization of the visual world occurs much earlier than previously thought by scientists. As early as 2 months of age, babies exhibit clear ...

Prenatal exposure to PM2.5 and black carbon is linked to lower infant cognitive scores. Eye-tracking shows poorer memory, with boys being more vulnerable.

A new study suggests that babies are able to distinguish between the different objects they see around them at 2 months old, which is earlier than scientists previously thought. The findings, ...

Research on infant thinking suggests that babies are more complex thinkers than was once believed. There is now evidence that, by the end of their first year, children are capable of logical reasoning ...
