• Poverty is Eed to structural differences in several areas of

the brain associated with school readiness skills, with the largest influence observed among children from the poorest households.

• Regional gray maXer volumes of children below 1.5 Emes

the federal poverty level were 3 to 4 percentage points below the developmental norm (P < .05).

Po Poverty and Children (ConEnued)

hXp://www.cbpp.org/blog/brain-studies-highlight-importance-of-anE-poverty-policies-for-children Nicole L. Hair, PhD1; et al

• A larger gap of 8 to 10 percentage points was observed for children below the

federal poverty level (P < .05).

• These developmental differences had consequences for children’s academic

achievement.

• On average, children from low-income households scored 4 to 7 points lower on

standardized tests (P < .05).

• As much as 20% of the gap in test scores could be explained by maturaEonal lags

in the frontal and temporal lobes.
