Pesticides Research on the developmental impacts of direct residential pesticide exposure or indirect prenatal or occupational exposure on the skin or clothing of exposed caregivers is somewhat limited. Water pollution, sanitation and access Many families in the global South have limited access to clean water and sanitation facilities Bartlett, ; Bartlett et al.

Noise Numerous studies in high-income countries reveal that chronic noise exposure early in childhood interferes with reading acquisition Evans, Crowding The most consistent crowding metric with human consequences is people per room. Residential mobility Poverty, substandard housing, and slum dwellings without security of legal tenure often lead to excessive residential mobility. Housing type Research on housing type in more affluent countries has focused primarily on the potential developmental implications of high-rise housing. Schools and childcare Unfortunately, continual innovation in the design of schools and classrooms throughout the world is typically not based on evidence, instead reflecting current trends in architecture and design Lackney, School and classroom size There is a large body of research on school and classroom size.

Physical quality A surprisingly large number of school spaces for American children are in disrepair. Conclusions and future directions As can be seen upon reviewing the current state of the evidence on the physical environment and child development, very little work has documented the impacts of environmental conditions on the development of children growing up in the global South and other low-income countries.

Those individuals with an initially larger caudate nucleus and putamen, two basal ganglia nuclei involved in the control of movement, reinforcement learning and reward, were most likely to learn efficiently. In fact, ideally relevant individuals and communities should be involved in every stage outlined above. Male 2 , Female 2 , Neutral 0. Playing games, especially in a virtual reality environment, also appears to increase pain tolerance in both controls and patients As content clearly matters, the results from such reports are inherently noisy and thus provide unreliable data.

Raeff C, Benson J, editors. Early experience and human development. Relation of rearing environment to adaptive behavior of Egyptian toddlers. Infant Behavior and Development. D wants a snow globe and 'a big head of dirty auld curls'. All of them want their own place in the world.

And if they can't find it, they'll create one of their own. The play follows B and D in the care home where they are residents, and where Mrs C is a carer, on their special - 'very fecking special' - journey towards happiness. B for Baby is a tender, sharp-witted new play set in a residential care home for people with severe learning disabilities. Treating this taboo subject with humanity and humour, the piece's acuity and generously compassionate portraits result in a moving, if at times uncomfortable, drama. Poignantly exploring forbidden topics, B for Baby invites the reader or audience to rediscover the power and joy of make-believe.
