CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND THE
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
by Gary W. Evans
Main Concepts
Good environmental around the children can lead to positive child development.
Children in early age should not be exposed to negativity or harmful substance because it will interfere and bring harm to children development as well as their health.
Principles of Child Development
Based on the article journal
Cognitive
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)
cause the poorer attention regulation, lower IQ, and reading deficits.
Children exposed to
noise
suffer greater adverse reading impacts.
Long-term memory, particularly for complex verbal materials, is adversely affected by chronic
noise
exposure.
Children with a place to study in
crowded
homes suffer fewer cognitive consequences
Intellectual
Lead
exposure early in life reduces IQ on the order of three points per 10 µg/dl of blood.
Mercury
exposure has diminished IQ scores and language development.
Socioemotional
Higher
lead
body burden cause the greater hyperactivity, distractibility, and lower frustration tolerance.
Elevated aggression and conflict as well as diminished cooperation occurs among more
crowded
preschoolers, elementary school children and adolescents.
Both children and their parents report more strained, negative familial interactions in
high-density homes.
Psychophysiology
Chronic
noise
exposure elevates blood pressure levels and neuroendocrine stress
hormones in children.
