Neurodevelopmental assessment at one year of age predicts neuropsychological performance at six years in a cohort of West African Children

ABSTRACT Rural children from Benin, west Africa were evaluated with the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) at one year of age and then at six years with the Kaufman Assessment Battery for…

Persisting neurocognitive effects of CM can be captured with the KABC-II at school age and can be used to capture early emerging developmental deficits due to CM-R.

Is Neurodevelopmental Assessment in Early Childhood Predictive of Performance Assessed Later in Childhood and Adolescence in Sub-Saharan Africa? A Systematic Review of the Literature

Cognitive ability assessed in early childhood is strongly associated with performance at school age in cohorts of African children followed longitudinally, and infants and preschoolers at risk for poor developmental outcomes can be identified to better receive strategic early interventions.

Biocultural orchestration of developmental plasticity across levels: the interplay of biology and culture in shaping the mind and behavior across the life span.

A cross-level dynamic biocultural coconstructive framework is endorsed to understand cognitive and behavioral development across the life span and new insights of potential interfaces for reciprocal cultural and experiential influences to be integrated with behavioral genetics and cognitive neuroscience research can be more easily prescribed.

Beyond Versus argues that the persistence of the nature versus nurture debate stems from a century-long struggle to understand the interaction of nature and nurture, and offers a way to bridge this explanatory divide and these different concepts integratively.
