Which parts of everyday warmth are visible to researchers observing a family?
The authors examine observed maternal warmth and changes in brain network organization in late childhood.
Who was studied?
114 mother-child pairs from lower socioeconomic areas of Melbourne
Age / stage: About 8–10 years
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate observed maternal warmth and changes in brain network organization in late childhood?
- At what ages were each of the family measures and child outcomes actually collected?
- How were changes in the brain network distinguished from ordinary age-related maturation?
Keep the limits in view
The longitudinal imaging sample came from lower socioeconomic areas in Melbourne. Brain-network differences are group-level measurements.
