چکیده

Data from the Head Start Impact Study (N=3,185) were used to determine whether Head Start differentially benefited children from homes with high, middle, and low levels of parental preacademic stimulation on three academic outcome domains – early literacy, receptive vocabulary, and early math – after one year. Results from residualized growth models showed positive impacts of random assignment to Head Start on all three outcomes, and positive associations between parental pre-academic stimulation and academic performance. Two moderated effects were also found. Head Start boosted early math skills the most for children receiving low parental pre-academic stimulation. Effects of Head Start on early literacy skills were largest for children receiving parental pre-academic stimulation in the middle ranges. Implications for Head Start are discussed.

Do the effects of head start vary by parental preacademic stimulation?

Data from the Head Start Impact Study (N = 3,185, age = 3-4 years) were used to determine whether 1 year of Head Start differentially benefited children from homes with high, middle, and low levels of parental preacademic stimulation on three academic outcome domains-early math, early literacy, and receptive vocabulary. Results from residualized growth models showed positive impacts of random a...

The effects of head and tail stimulation on the withdrawal startle response of the rope fish (Erpetoichthys calabaricus).

While most actinopterygian fishes perform C-start or S-start behaviors as their primary startle responses, many elongate species instead use a withdrawal movement. Studies of withdrawal have focused on the response to head-directed or nonspecific stimuli. During withdrawal, the animal moves its head back from the stimulus, often resulting in several tight bends in the body. In contrast to C-sta...
