US researchers engaged in the study of poverty and how it affects child development . They found that the scarcity of the living conditions of deprived children the opportunity to realize the genetic potential. This happens even before the day the child turns two years.
These data were obtained by studying the mental abilities of about 750 pairs of identical twins and dvuhyaytsovyh beginning at the age of 10 months, and then every two years. Children go through special tests, which included the construction of various buildings out of blocks, moving pictures, sorting by color cards, etc. Socioeconomic status of the parents was established on the basis of their education, occupation and family income.
The study was conducted by Dr. Elliot Tucker-fractions with colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin. The researchers found that at the age of 10 months poor families exhibit exactly the same intellectual child development Like all other kids. But the next 14 months are crucial.
During this period, the intellectual child development from wealthy families it is considerably faster, so that the tests in two years, they have shown better results than their peers from poor families.
Among the two-year kids from rich families of identical twins, who share all genes that show a similar test scores than dvuhyaytsovye twins, divide half the genes. This suggests that genes affect the test results.
But in poor families, between monozygotic twins and dvuhyatsovymi such laws are not observed. These studies are published in the journal Psychological Science.
