we were very interested in

mi smo otkrili jedan faktor
with the cortical surface area

is a point where higher family income

was particularly pronounced.
a certain set of cognitive skills:
određene kognitivne sposobnosti:
like vocabulary and reading
kao što su rečnik i čitanje,
to avoid distraction
are most likely to struggle with.

I'd like to highlight about this study.

i strukture dečijeg mozga
kod najnižih nivoa prihoda.
in family income
u porodičnim prihodima
greater differences in brain structure
većom razlikom u moždanoj strukturi
earning, say, 150,000 dollars a year
recimo, zarađuje 150 000 dolara godišnje
but probably not game-changing,
ne bi donelo neku ogromnu promenu,
20,000 dollars a year
samo 20 000 dolara godišnje
in their day-to-day lives.

I'd like to highlight
and children's brain structure
i dečije strukture mozga

of children from higher-income homes

is certainly a risk factor
svakako faktor rizika

for a moment, two children.
born into poverty in America;
rođeno u siromaštvu u Americi,
into more fortunate circumstances.
absolutely no differences
apsolutno nikakva razlika

are ready to start kindergarten,
that are, on average, 60 percent lower

to drop out of high school,
da napusti srednju školu,
a college degree.
da će steći fakultetsku diplomu.

ova dva deteta,
her entire childhood living in poverty,
celo svoje detinjstvo u siromaštvu,
more likely to be poor herself.
da i samo bude siromašno.
I find most exciting about the human brain
kod ljudskog mozga
known as neuroplasticity,
in children's brain structure
u strukturi dečijeg mozga
to a life of low achievement.
na život niskih dostignuća.
each year, educating our children.
svake godine na dečije obrazovanje.
teachers and parents
nastavnicima i roditeljima
from disadvantaged backgrounds
iz nepovoljnog okruženja
with a host of different experiences
sa mnoštvom različitih iskustava
in turn may work together
mogu zajednički uticati
and ultimately help kids learn.
i naposletku pomoći deci da uče.
can we step in and provide help?
mi možemo uskočiti i pružiti pomoć?
at the level of learning itself --
na nivou samog učenja -
school-based initiatives.
to focus on the kinds of skills
da se fokusiraju na veštine
najverovatnije imati problema?
are most likely to struggle with?
based in scientific evidence
zasnovanog na naučnim dokazima
of excellent interventions

or self-regulation
ili samokontrolu,

doing this work would tell you,
koji rade ovaj posao bi vam rekli,
evidence-based education.

in child development emerge early --
u dečijem razvoju se pojave rano,
of formal schooling --
formalno školovanje,
all of our policy efforts
children's experiences?
da se promeni dečije iskustvo?
are associated with growing up in poverty
sa odrastanjem u siromaštvu,
to promote brain development
u cilju razvoja mozga
on a few types of experiences
na nekoliko vrsta iskustava
their learning outcomes.
njihovih rezultata učenja.
the home language environment,
kućno jezičko okruženje,
that the number of words kids hear
znamo da broj reči koje dete čuje
they're engaged in every day
u koje su svakodnevno uključeni
more spoken words
više izgovorenih reči

iz manje povoljnih okruženja.
more back-and-forth,
in parts of the brain

than the sheer number of words they hear.
od samog broja reči koje čuju.
not just to talk a lot,
ne samo da pričaju puno,
with their children.
više razgovora sa svojom decom.
that we'll promote brain development
da ćemo podstaći razvoj mozga
and reading skills.
kod njihove dece.
of scientists are testing
with lots of different experiences
povezano sa mnogo različitih iskustava
conversations kids are having.
na šta još da se fokusiramo?
of high-quality interventions
visokokvalitetnih intervencija
children's experience,
da promene dečije iskustvo,
school-based initiatives,
bazirane na školi, to je težak posao.
for scientists to swoop in
za naučnike da upadaju
in order for their child to succeed.
kako bi njihovo dete bilo uspešno.
young children in poverty
deci u siromaštvu
their families more money?
njihovim porodicama više para?
with a team of economists,
sa timom ekonomista,
i neuronaučnika
changes in children's brain development.
izaziva promene u dečijem razvoju mozga.

however they like.
taj novac kako god žele.
mothers are being randomized,

to receive a nominal monthly cash gift
da prime nominalni mesečni novčani poklon,
several hundred dollars each month,

da je dovoljno velik

past questions
da prevaziđemo pitanja
with child development
sa razvojem deteta
whether reducing poverty causes changes
da li smanjenje siromaštva donosi promene
and brain development
i moždanom razvoju deteta
most malleable to experience.
na mozak u razvoju.
from this study for several years,
ove studije još nekoliko godina,
will have a bit more cash each month
će imati malo više novca svakog meseca
that a cost-effective way

will inform debates about social services

or even the most important factor
ili čak najvažniji faktor
brain development,
changes how children's brains develop

Kimberly Noble - Neuroscientist, pediatricianKimberly Noble, MD, PhD, studies how socioeconomic inequality relates to children's cognitive and brain development.
Why you should listen
Trained as a neuroscientist and board-certified pediatrician, Dr. Kimberly Noble has examined disparities in development and health across infancy, childhood and adolescence. She is currently an Associate Professor of Neuroscience and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she directs the Neurocognition, Early Experience and Development (NEED) Lab. She received her undergraduate, graduate and medical degrees at the University of Pennsylvania and was the recipient of the Association for Psychological Science Janet Taylor Spence Award for Transformative Early Career Contributions.
In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of scientists from around the United States, Noble is co-directing the Baby's First Years study, the first clinical trial of poverty reduction to assess the causal impact of income on children's cognitive, emotional and brain development in the first three years of life. Her work has received worldwide attention in the popular press, including the Washington Post, The Economist, Newsweek, The Guardian, Le Monde and NPR.
