The study examines the feasibility and validity of eye tracking based assessment of infant cognitive function in low-resource settings.
Background
We study the associations between the childs social and cognitive development, nutritional status, growth pattern, gestational age at birth, and rearing environment. The project aims at developing valid methods to study early social and cognitive development in low-resource settings, and facilitating early identification of serious risk factors for child development and interventions to promote infants physical and mental health.
