Families’ social backgrounds matter: socio-economic factors, home learning and young children’s language, literacy and social outcomes (2011, background): “Impoverished learning environments are likely to impact on children’s cognitive skills and language (Feinstein, 2003 ), whereas poverty that impacts on parenting practices and well-being is linked to behavioural difficulties in children as young as five (Bor et al, 1997 ).”
Variations in the Availability and Quality of Early Childhood Education and Care by Socioeconomic Status of Neighborhoods (2016, neutral): “© 2016 Taylor & Francis including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia (Blanden, Katz, & Redmond, 2012; Bradbury, Corak, Waldfogel, & Washbrook, 2012; Conti & Heckman, 2012; Feinstein, 2003).”
Parenting style as an investment in human development (2018, background): “…and social development is tied to their family circumstances well and truly before they enter school (e.g., Bradley and Robert 2002; Feinstein 2003; Heckman 2006) has prompted researchers to renew their efforts to understand the role of families in shaping children’s well-being.”
Higher Education Funding (2004, background): “More resources are needed earlier in the system, not least because of the growing evidence (Feinstein 2003) that the roots of exclusion lie in early childhood.”
Individuals, interactions and institutions: How economic inequality affects organizations (2015, background): “However, their poorer counterparts cannot catch up and continue to fare poorly in education as adults (Feinstein, 2003).”
The Matthew effect in childcare use: a matter of policies or preferences? (2018, background): “Given the fact that there is a strong correlation between the educational level of parents, the cognitive skills and school readiness of their children (Feinstein 2003), quality childcare helps to reduce development gaps between children from different social backgrounds (Leseman and Slot 2014).”
Early Maternal Time Investment and Early Child Outcomes (2016, background): “…2016) and that, by the time children enter primary school education, significant differences in verbal and mathematical competence exist among them (Feinstein, 2003; Cunha and Heckman, 2007, 2008; Cunha et al., 2010).1 Given this growing and compelling evidence, many studies have explored the…”
Educational inequality: the widening socio-economic gap (2005, background): “Attending a school with a lower proportion of low socio-economic group children is highly beneficial ( Feinstein, 2003 ) . Hence, peer-group effects reinforce socio-economic”
The influence of child, family, home factors and pre-school education on the identification of special educational needs at age 10 (2011, result): “These results are in line with findings from previous research on the association between SES, parental education, family income and cognitive development and achievement (e.g. Feinstein, 2003; Sammons et al., 2007).”
Lifetime Antecedents of Cognitive Reserve (2003, background): “The effect of parental occupational social class on cognition is evident by 22 months (Feinstein, 2003), and is detectable at least as far as late middle age (Kaplan et al., 2001).”
Social mobility, regression to the mean and the cognitive development of high ability children from disadvantaged homes (2011, background): “Some studies have also suggested that highly able children from disadvantaged homes are overtaken by their rich but less able peers before the age of 10 years, in terms of their cognitive skill.”
Investing in Early Human Development: Timing and Economic Efficiency (2009, background): “Evidence based on UK data finds that for children born in 1970, there is a 13 percentile gap in an index of cognitive development at 22 months between children from high and low socioeconomic status (SES) families (Feinstein, 2003).”
