Giving children the best possible start into their school life is one of the main interests and challenges that parents, educators, and policy makers face. Scientifically we are only beginning to understand when a child is ready for school and how schooling impacts cognitive development uniquely through its imposed demand on the child. This fellowship seeks to find evidence for person-specific neural markers of school readiness, which likely have implications for future academic achievement and early classroom practices across the world. This work will help to promote equal opportunity at the school-entry level and ultimately reduce educational disparity.
