神经科学家和儿科医生金伯利 · 诺贝尔引领了名为“孩子的最初阶段"的一项实验：首个探究家庭收入如何改变儿童认知，情感和大脑发育的随机实验。她想知道，我们能否仅仅通过给一个家庭更多的钱来帮助贫困儿童？ “大脑并不决定命运，” 诺贝尔说， “如果孩子的大脑可以被改变，那么一切皆有可能。”

收入水平如何影响儿童大脑发育

Family income is closely tied to the development of children’s brains, especially in regions linked to language and self-control. Among the poorest families, even small increases in income can lead to much larger changes in brain structure. Children in poverty often start kindergarten with cognitive scores 60 percent lower than their more affluent peers. But because the brain is shaped by experience, early interventions and increased resources can unlock potential and support lifelong learning.
