Early life research focuses on understanding the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development that occurs in the early years of a person's life, typically from infancy to early childhood. This research typically examines how experiences and environments during this critical period can impact long-term outcomes in terms of health, behavior, and overall well-being. Researchers in this field may study various aspects of early life development, such as attachment, language acquisition, motor skills, and social interactions, in order to better understand how to support and promote healthy development in children.
