“Brains are built not born.” This is a quote from Dr. Patricia
Kuhl’s early learning brain research. This research both fascinates and
inspires me as an early childhood educator. In 2006 Dr. Kuhl and her team were
the first to ever record brain activity in an awake infant.What this means for early childhood research is unprecedented. What this research translates to is that we learn 80% of what we will know prior to the age of 7. This research proves that Early Childhood is the most important time in brain development. Even though the research answers a lot of questions on brain development it leaves a lot of room for research and learning in the field of early childhood; inspiring me to continue learning and teaching.
