While every child is born with the capacity for higher thinking, how fully the brain and mind develops is determined in equal measure by genetics and by the richness of the environment surrounding the child. EARLY INTELLIGENCE describes in fascinating detail how the child's brain and mind develop from conception through the first five years of life. Each of our senses as well as higher cognitive functions like reasoning and language are shown to be affected by the experience that parents andcarers give to children during those crucial first five years. The perfect book for scientifically minded parents who want to grasp how a child's mind develops.

Author: Lise Eliot, Ph.D. Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 544 Recent studies on brain function and growth have opened the way to discovering what is going on in an infant's mind and reinvigorated the nature/nurture debate. The Human Genome Project promises a blueprint for every individual, but these exciting genetic discoveries, says neuroscientist Lise Eliot, also raises the alarming tendency to think there is little we can do to influence a child's fate, that it is all a matter of heredity. We are the product of "a delicate dance between genes and environment", but while genes programme the "sequence" of neural development, its "quality" is shaped at every turn by experience. In this book, Eliot charts the way a child's brain evolves and the implications this has for emerging mental skills: sensation, movement, emotion, memory, language and intelligence. Featuring copious observations of real children, "Early Intelligence" highlights the positive steps parents, carers and educators can take to make the child's early years a rich experience, the benefits of which will carry through to adulthood.
