Walker, Susan P.; Chang, Susan M.; Younger, Novie; Grantham-McGregor, Sally M. – Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2010
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether psychosocial stimulation up to the age of 2 years benefits cognition and behaviour at age 6 years in low-birthweight, term-born (LBW-T) children (gestational age greater than or equal to 37wk, birthweight less than 2500g), and to compare LBW-T and normal-birthweight (NBW) children. Method: LBW-T…

Gale, Catharine R.; Martyn, Christopher N.; Marriott, Lynne D.; Limond, Jennifer; Crozier, Sarah; Inskip, Hazel M.; Godfrey, Keith M.; Law, Catherine M.; Cooper, Cyrus; Robinson, Sian M. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2009
Background: Trials in developing countries suggest that improving young children's diet may benefit cognitive development. Whether dietary composition influences young children's cognition in developed countries is unclear. Although many studies have examined the relation between type of milk received in infancy and subsequent cognition, there has…

The Prediction, from Infancy, of Adult IQ and Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Fagan, Joseph F.; Holland, Cynthia R.; Wheeler, Karyn – Intelligence, 2007
Young adults, originally tested as infants for their ability to process information as measured by selective attention to novelty (an operational definition of visual recognition memory), were revisited. A current estimate of IQ was obtained as well as a measure of academic achievement. Information processing ability at 6-12 months was predictive…

The Study of Individual Differences In Infancy And Early Childhood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Boyd, Elizabeth – Journal of Research and Development in Education, 1973
Two theoretical models of visual attention and contingent learning were presented to provide a framework for the consideration of how observed individual differences in infant behavior may interact with nonsocial stimuli and caretaker-mediated stimuli to influence the individual's development of patterns of visual attention and contingency…

Early Predictors of Later IQ: The Search Continues.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCall, Robert B. – Intelligence, 1981
Studies reporting predictions from assessments of infant recognition memory to later developmental performance and IQ are critiqued. Inelegancies in design, procedure, and analyses are noted. While this approach may have potential, its utility for practical or clinical purposes is still not demonstrated. (Author/RD)

Language: A Partial Link between Infant Attention and Later Intelligence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rose, Susan A.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1991
This study assessed children's visual recognition memory at seven months; their language development up to four years; and their intelligence up to five years. A greater preference for novelty in infancy was associated with later comprehension and expressive language and higher IQ scores. The relationship between novelty preference and IQ was…
