Developmental outcomes in 4-year-old children born in the first COVID-19 lockdown in England: preliminary findings from the Born In COVID Year - Core Lockdown Effects (BICYCLE) study
Listen to this summary
The study aimed to assess the developmental outcomes of 4-year-old children born during the first COVID-19 lockdown in England, particularly focusing on language, executive function, motor skills, and non-verbal reasoning. Findings indicated that while some language skills were above normative expectations, caregiver-reported executive function was notably lower, suggesting potential educational vulnerabilities and the need for targeted support in classrooms. The results highlight the impact of limited social exposure during a critical developmental period and emphasize the importance of responsive educational policies.
