Experience and Brain Development
Stimuli in early life switch on genetic pathways
that differentiate neuron function sensitive
and critical periods
Stimuli affect the formation of
the connections (synapses)
among the billions of neurons
From studies in humans, monkeys, cats, rats and
other species.

Genes and Brain Stimulation
in the dance of life, genes and environment
are absolutely inextricable partners. On the one
hand, genes supply the rough blueprint for the
brain. Then stimulation from the environment,
whether its light impinging on the retina or a
mothers voice on the auditory nerve, turns genes
on and off, fine-tuning those brain structures
both before and after birth.

"Follow up through life of successive
samples of birth has pointed to the
crucial influence of early life on
subsequent mental and physical health
and development."

BEHAVIOUR

"Longitudinal studies show most seriously
antisocial adolescents and adults who had
behavior problems during childhood showed as
antisocial behavior when they enter the school
systems."
Tremblay, R

Wealth of Nations, 1999

"The origin of these behavior problems can be
traced back to fetal development and infancy.
High quality care-giving support during the
first three years reduces the seriousness
of behavior problems."

Levels of Literacy A Reflection of ECD
Level 1
indicates persons with very poor skills.
Level 2
people can deal with material that is simple
Level 3
is considered a suitable minimum for coping with
the demands of everyday life
Level 4 and 5
describe people who demonstrate command of
higher-order processing skills
