Early Intervention and Mediating Processes in Cognitive Performance of Children of Low-Income African American Families.
Burchinal, Margaret R.; Campbell, Frances A.; Bryant, Donna M.; Wasik, Barbara H.; Ramey, Craig T.
Child Development, v68 n5 p935-54 Oct 1997
Examined influences on African-American children's cognitive development between 6 months and 8 years. Found that more optimal patterns of development were associated with intensive early educational child care, responsive home stimulation, and higher maternal IQ. Child care experiences were related to cognitive performance through enhancing infants' responsiveness to the environment. Maternal IQ influenced cognitive development directly and indirectly.
