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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The study suggests that cognitive development begins far earlier than previously believed, with infants actively processing and categorising the world around them from a very early age. View on eurone ...
