چکیده
A longitudinal study was conducted at the Frank Porter Graham Center NC to explore the use of educational day care and related seryices as a mechanism for preparing socially disadvantaged children for success in later public schooling'. Infant children of mothers who met a criterion score on a high risk index were randomly assigned to either an experimental group which received educational day care beginning before infants'reached 3 months of age or to a control group which received paper diapers and nutritional supplements but no systematic educational day care. Four.cohorts consisting of approximately 28 children each were admitted to the project between 1972 and 1977. Clover the preschok years social and cognitive developmental information on all four Cohorts was collected.-Data on fourineasures appear to differ,in impact on the child on a continuum ranging fro,x distal to proximal influences. These measures are ( 1) education of mother at/child's birth, (2) maternal 14, (3) total score from Caldwell's Home Observation-for easurement of the Environment, and (4) labOratory observations of mOther and child at play. Resul.ts of statistical analyses suggest that educational day care intervention with high risk children beginning in infancy can prevent declines i& measured intelligence during early childhood, that early intervention may be one of the most important environmental determinants of \intelligenCe in high risk children, and that parental intelligence\and quality of home environments are other variables worth studying for their impact on intellectual development..

OBJECTIVES Two factors were considered as predictors of children's risk for unintentional injury: (a) children's temperamentally difficult behavior patterns and (b) parenting. Along with hypotheses to replicate previous univariate effects, it was hypothesized that active, involved parents with sufficient time resources might reduce injury risk among temperamentally at-risk children. METHODS S...
