*Self-Regulation Development as a Focus for the Integration of Neuroscience and Education: Executive Function, Stress, and Poverty in Children*

The development of self-regulation is increasingly becoming the focus of clinical and educational attention. What have we learned about its role among our most disadvantaged and vulnerable children? The talk will focus on the effects of psychosocial stress on child development and describes mechanisms through which early stress in the context of poverty affects executive functions and self-regulation development in early childhood. Effects of early experience on executive functions and on early school achievement will be examined with data from a population-based sample of children and families followed from birth through school entry. NYU Professor Clancy Blair, PhD, is an international leader in the integration of neuroscience research and education. He will discuss the role of self-regulation and executive function and their impact on child functional outcomes. Target Audience: Physicians (psychiatrists, pediatricians, child neurologists), psychologists, social workers, other mental health clinicians and researchers, and students and trainees. Upon completion of this activity, participants will have a better understanding of ways in which poverty affects self-regulation in children through effects on stress physiology.
