NUTRITION PATTERN AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO COGNITIVE ABILITIES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD CHILDREN

Malnutrition and infectious diseases in infancy and early childhood have an impact on the cognitive development of children in developing countries. The long-term effects of these diseases are less well understood. A number of studies relate early malnutrition, iron deficiency, and malaria infection to poor cognitive abilities in the school-age years. The long-term effect of randomized interventions in early childhood has been evaluated for nutrition supplementation and psychosocial stimulation of malnourished children and for malaria prevention in a community cohort. The evidence suggests that improving the health and nutrition of young children can improve their subsequent chances of attending school, the gender equity of education access, and performance of children once at school.

esearch shows that physical activity of children at an early age will greatly trigger the development of cognitive abilities. Based on observations and studies in the field, it was found that almost all teachers and educators in PAUD Padang Panjang did not have the skills in designing learning and evaluating the basic movements of children. Based on research, basic motion cannot develop naturally but must be taught correctly and continuously. The learning material to be realized must be based on the child's initial ability and level of movement skills. This community service activity for partners aims to: (a) possess skills in designing fundamental motor skills learning, (b) understand and be skilled in using early childhood fundamental motor skill measurement instruments, (c) able to effectively implement learning in school places respective agencies. The method used uses the principle that every innovation received by PAUD teachers through PIE (Preparation, Implementation and Evaluation). This means that the delivery of innovations to Partners is carried out through the stages of explanation, discussion, practice as well as the evaluation stage with assistance in the learning process. Based on the implementation of the training, the results obtained for PAUD teachers in Padang Panjang as training participants can be described as follows: (a) has the skills in designing fundamental motor skill learning, (b) understanding and skilled in using fundamental motor skills measurement instruments for early childhood, (c) able to effectively implement learning in their respective school offices.

Shared Genetic

In adults, psychiatric disorders are highly comorbid and are negatively associated with cognitive abilities. Individual cognitive measures have been linked with domains of child psychopathology, but the specificity of these associations and the extent to which they reflect shared genetic influences are unknown. In this study we examined the relationship between general factors of cognitive ability ( g) and psychopathology ( p) in early development using two genetically informative samples: the Texas “Tiny” Twin Project (TXtT; N = 626, age range = 0.16–6.31 years) and the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study–Birth Cohort (ECLS-B; N ≈ 1,300 individual twins, age range = 3.7–7.1 years). The total p–g correlation (−.21 in ECLS-B; −.34 in TXtT) was primarily attributable to genetic and shared environmental factors. The early age range of participants indicates that the p–g association is a reflection of overlapping genetic and shared environmental factors that operate in the first years of life.

The purpose of this research is to know the influence of early childhood science experiments on child cognitive development in Kartika Siwi Pusdikpal Kindergarten Cimahi. Learning early childhood science experiments at Kartika Siwi Kindergarten can help early childhood knowledge and understanding of science concepts, and help put aspects related to science skills to improve children's cognition. The research problem is whether early childhood science experiments have an effect on the cognitive development of children in Kartika Siwi Kindergarten. The research method used is experimental research method. The population of this research is all children in Kartika Siwi Kindergarten which amounted to 26 children. Sampling research using total sampling technique. Data collection using pretest and postest, documentation, as well as observation and data processing using t-test statistical formula. Based on the results of hypothesis testing that t arithmetic > t table, is 8.20 > 2.05 so the hypothesis in this study accepted. The results showed that early childhood science experiments can affect children's cognitive development of 4.50 (good category). It is suggested to teachers to be able to improve cognitive abilities of children by using variations and innovative methods in different games so that the cognitive abilities of children can be further improved.

Validation Framework

Evidence of social inequalities in cognitive abilities in early childhood has been documented in many societies; however, three characteristics of the data used to measure cognitive constructs make it difficult to quantify inequalities across groups. First, a causal understanding of validity is not compatible with the standard validation framework, which forces researchers to think critically what it means to measure unobserved constructs. Second, test scores only provide ordinal information about individuals, they are not interval scales and require the use of suitable corresponding methods for their study. Third, measurement invariance, which causes measurement error, may make comparison of test scores across groups invalid. The paper explores these three data problems applied to standardized tests---one mathematics and two language assessments---taken by a cohort of German children. The paper proposes a comparative validation framework for researchers based on nonparametric psychometric models and the representational theory of measurement. This framework can help researchers to determine if data fit the assumptions of a measurement model, to check for various forms of measurement error, and to overcome potential issues. A comparison of competing statistical modeling alternatives reveals substantial differences: By conceptualizing ability as ordinal instead of interval and excluding items that do not fit the assumptions of measurement models, I find a reduction in effect sizes for typical covariates studied in social stratification research.
