Inequalities and indoor air pollution: A prospective observational study of particulate matter (PM2.5) levels in 309 UK homes from the Born in Bradford cohort study
Particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Evidence suggests socioeconomic and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately exposed to higher outdoor air pollution, exacerbating existing health inequalities. However, most research focuses on outdoor air pollution, despite people spending most of their time indoors. We compare how indoor PM2.5 concentrations vary between households of different socioeconomi…
Better early than late: The temporal dynamics of pointing cues during cross-situational word learning
Learning the meaning of a word is a difficult task due to the variety of possible referents present in the environment. Visual cues such as gestures frequently accompany speech and have the potential to reduce referential uncertainty and promote learning, but the dynamics of pointing cues and speech integration are not yet known. If word learning is influenced by when , as well as whether , a learner is directed correctly to a target, then this w…
Disentangling genetic and environmental influences on early language development: The interplay of genetic propensity for negative emotionality and surgency, and parenting behavior effects on early la…
Parenting and children's temperament are important influences on language development. However, temperament may reflect prior parenting, and parenting effects may reflect genes common to parents and children. In 561 U.S. adoptees (57% male) and their birth and rearing parents (70% and 92% White, 13% and 4% African American, and 7% and 2% Latinx, respectively), this study demonstrated how genetic propensity for temperament affects language develop…
Do executive functions and processing speed mediate the relationship between socioeconomic status and educational achievement? Analysis of an observational birth cohort study
These results, and the theoretical mechanisms linking working memory to educational achievement, both indicate the importance of finding ways to support children with working memory difficulties in the classroom. This is an important avenue for future research and may be useful for closing the socioeconomic gap in educational achievement
