Sumario:The article cites several studies relating to early childhood education in the U.S. Learning problems have been traced by researchers to emerge from a child's early physical and linguistic environment and family dynamics. Researchers are evaluating environmental variables through parent training or nutritional programs to determine its repercussions on school achievement.

Another project is that of researcher James Gallagher involving children's styles of approach to problems.
