How can we show steady interest in learning when school is frustrating?

For the Kindness section, this study offers a way to examine family warmth as a context for a brain-connectivity and academic-achievement association.

Who was studied?

9,574 participants in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development cohort

Age / stage: Around 10 years at baseline

Read with three questions

  1. How did the authors investigate family warmth as a context for a brain-connectivity and academic-achievement association?
  2. At what ages were each of the family measures and child outcomes actually collected?
  3. How large was the brain-connectivity association compared with other predictors of academic achievement?

Keep the limits in view

A large neuroimaging cohort supports group-level comparisons. Neither an individual scan nor an individual warmth score predicts a child’s academic future.
