Key Discussion Points
1. Brain development
➢ What does it tell us about children’s cognitive abilities
2. Factors that affect brain development and functioning
➢ The importance of sleep and physical activity

• Brain is developing most rapidly in the first two years of life

What Does This Mean?
• Early experiences are critical for healthy brain development • Face perception• Language discrimination
• Quality care is important • Maternal care in rats is associated with memory performance and
brain structure (Bredy et al., 2003)
• Institutionalized children from Romania (Zeanah et al., 2003)• Cognitive and social deficits and altered brain structure
• Enriching environments & Foster care helped to mitigate some of these effects
Pascalis et al., 2003. Science.

How does the Brain Develop?
• Brain develops in a back- to front manner (Gogtay & Thompson, 2010)
• Some functions develop before others
Gogtay & Thompson, 2010. Brain & Cognition.

• Frontal regions are key for executive functioning → control thought & behaviour
• Child display deficits in controlled behaviour
What are the Implications?

Factors that Affect Brain Development and Functioning
![Page 11: How can Neuroscience (knowledge) contribute to learning ... · • Growth and development (Kurth et al., 2013; Wilhelm et al., 2014) • Learning & memory (Frank et al., 2001) •](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062605/5fcaff710501540dc12c0c35/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• The brain is active during sleep
• Growth and development (Kurth et al., 2013; Wilhelm et al., 2014)
• Learning & memory (Frank et al., 2001)
• Inconsistent bedtime in 3 year olds associated with poor cognitive outcomes in primary school (Kelly et al., 2012)
• Sleep duration is associated with brain volume in children and adolescents (Taki et al., 2012)

How Much Sleep Do Children Need?
Regular bedtime & routines
Avoid screen time 2 hours before bedtime
Conducive environment (noise, temperature, light, stress)

The Importance of Physical Activity for Brain Functioning / Development
Creates new brain cells Improves functions & connections
within existing cells
Releases chemical that repairs brain cells,
enhances cell signaling & improves mood
