The longer a child was in the intervention, the higher their score. There was evidence that a child's IQ could be improved with early intervention.

There is compelling evidence of serious state intervention.

He's the sort of guy who loves to see his score ticking over on the scoreboard and it does tick over quite quickly when he gets going.

These results contribute to our understanding of the possibilities and limitations of early intervention for severe deprivation, the importance of timing of intervention on recovery, and the effects of early experience on brain and behavioral development.

I see this as the new frontier in our understanding of child development. We don't know the molecular mechanism by which a mother's behavior reaches down to inhibit or elicit the expression of a gene, but clearly that's happening.

I was thought to be retarded as a child, and all the evidence indicates that I was.
