Socioeconomic status and the brain: mechanistic insights from human and animal research (2010, background): “Studies that assessed multiple neurocognitive systems found that the largest effects of SES are on language processing, with more moderate effects on executive function — particularly on working memory and cognitive contro”
How experience gets under the skin to create gradients in developmental health. (2010, background): “Day-to-day child rearing in environments characterized by impoverished parent-child interactions, for example, may be implicated in the cognitive and neurobiological deficits now being identified in children from disadvantaged families (42, 54).”
