Tucker-Drob, Elliot M.; Harden, K. Paige – Developmental Science, 2012
Parenting is traditionally conceptualized as an exogenous environment that affects child development. However, children can also influence the quality of parenting that they receive. Using longitudinal data from 650 identical and fraternal twin pairs, we found that, controlling for cognitive ability at age 2 years, cognitive stimulation by parents…

Environmental Factors Related to Cognitive-Intellectual Development at Two Age Levels: When Does the Environment Influence Early Intelligence?
Gandour, Mary Jane; And Others – 1982
The two studies reported here explore recent findings indicating that few relationships exist between environmental stimulation and cognitive development during the first 6 months of life. In the first study, three separate home visits (two 90 minutes and one 30 minutes long) were used to assess the physical and social environments of 100…

Early Home Environment and Changes in Mental Test Performance in Children from 6 to 36 Months
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bradley, Robert H.; Caldwell, Bettye M. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Normal infants were administered the Bayley Scales of Infant Development at 6 months and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale at 3 years. At 6 months the quality of stimulation found in the early environment was measured. Results indicate that home environment may contribute to instability of performance on infant tests. (GO)
