Naturalistic Observations

15.9K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Children in poverty face risks for suboptimal mental, educational, and occupational outcomes.
  • Early childhood executive function (EF) skills are critical predictors of these long-term outcomes.
  • Individual differences in EF may be influenced by socioeconomic status.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how prenatal and postnatal experiences mediate the relationship between poverty and executive function (EF) skills in early childhood.
  • To describe the rationale, aims, and design of the Brain and Early Experience study.
  • To detail recruitment strategies, participant characteristics, and assessment measures for studying poverty's impact on child development.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective longitudinal study design.
  • Examining multiple pathways linking poverty to variations in early childhood EF skills.
  • Funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

Main Results:

  • Recruitment of 203 participants is complete, with data collection ongoing until February 2024.
  • The sample achieved significant variation in socioeconomic status (SES), with 71% of low-SES participants having income-to-needs ratios below 2.0.
  • Recruitment successfully captured diversity within racial groups and ensured adequate representation for hypothesis testing.

Conclusions:

  • The recruitment strategy effectively maximized variation in family SES, including within racial groups.
  • Findings will illuminate the complex interplay of risk factors affecting neurocognitive development in early childhood.
  • This research informs our understanding of poverty's long-term effects on children's executive function.
