Publisher's Synopsis

The effects of good nutrition on cognitive development are demonstrated in this longitudinal study conducted in four rural villages in Guatemala. Particular attention is given to subjects who were exposed to a dietary supplement prenatally and during the first two years of life. These subjects scored significantly higher on tests of knowledge, reading, vocabulary, and numeracy. The contrasts among tests scores were more pronounced in young adulthood than in early childhood.
