Fetal, infant, and toddler (FIT) neuroimaging researchers study early brain development to gain insights into neurodevelopmental processes identify markers of neurobiological vulnerabilities target for intervention. However, the field has historically excluded people from global majority countries marginalized communities in FIT research. Inclusive representative samples are essential generalizing findings across modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalography, electroencephalography, functional near-infrared spectroscopy, cranial ultrasonography. These techniques pose unique overlapping challenges equitable representation research through sampling bias, technical constraints, limited accessibility, insufficient resources. The present article adds conversation around need improve inclusivity by highlighting modality-specific historical current obstacles ongoing initiatives. We conclude discussing tangible solutions that transcend individual ultimately providing recommendations promote neuroscience.

ABSTRACT In understanding the psychology of social inequalities, research has often portrayed groups individuals in disadvantaged positions as lacking agency, skills, or motivation–portrayals that can stigmatize these groups. Countering this stigma, recent developments have been made so‐called “strength‐based” to better understand and acknowledge motivation people show. Yet, is not focused on how inequalities emerge. The present explores ways study without risking people. For example, we address disparities certain motivational factors (e.g., belonging, confidence) stigmatizing motivation? And way experience disadvantage reducing them role weak, passive victims? To answer such questions, integrate traditional social‐inequality with advances strength‐based what call a “holistic approach” studying inequality. At core approach simultaneous recognition context‐level (a focus inequality research) individual‐level agency research). This allows for broader–a holistic–perspective existing inequality‐research, points underexplored questions within do actively respond disadvantage?). After outlining approach, distill it into 10 practical guidelines illustrate implement an agenda. doing so, hope support authors, reviewers, editors, other stakeholders aiming accurate non‐stigmatizing inequalities.

Many developmental psychologists aspire to conduct research that informs interventions and policies prevent income-related disparities in child development. Among growing researcher discussion about the value of target "structural" resource-related correlates income inequality development (e.g., housing, food, material goods, cash), rather than individual, person-centered parenting behaviors), perspectives mothers with low incomes may provide important context. 281 young children rated various structural individual interventions, framed as having minimal costs entry barriers, for their perceived helpfulness. Analyses were pre-registered. Overall, all very highly, though they slightly more helpful interventions. Mothers used past less those hadn't previously used. An exploratory qualitative analysis revealed mothers' desires supports other intervention domains beyond addressed our survey. Together, responses indicated did not see inherently unhelpful due a focus on states, knowledge, skills. Implications psychology science are discussed.

Individual differences in executive functions are detectable the first year of life and continue to develop throughout preschool years. Psychological science suggests that function is malleable, with parents playing a crucial role as potential agents change. However, effectiveness interventions aimed at teaching how enhance their children’s during years remains unclear. To address this gap, we pre-registered systematic review meta-analysis literature on parent/caregiver-led designed foster from ages 2 5 We conducted an extensive search across 12 databases spanning disciplines such developmental psychology, education, policy. After screening over 11,000 papers, studies met our inclusion criteria. These included home visits, in-person group sessions for parents/caregivers, or combination both. Our revealed non-significant positive effect overall. follow-up analysis two using same outcome measures Effortful Control showed small moderate was statistically significant. provide recommendations improving evidence base area, emphasising need more rigorous standardised methodologies future research. This underscores key facilitators development highlights promising directions interventions.
