Diet Quality and Cognitive Control Function in Early Childhood: A Pilot Study

October 9, 2018 updated by: Naiman Khan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
This study aims to study the relationship between diet and cognitive function among 4-5-year-olds.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Detailed Description

Children's ability for optimal cognitive function is critical for their long-term capacity to learn and achieve scholastic success. However, there is a gap in the knowledge pertaining to the selection of appropriate cognitive tasks for studying relationships between diet and cognitive control, particularly among young children. Accordingly, this study aims to study the relationship between diet and cognitive function using a standardized neuropsychological assessment and a modified cognitive task battery.
