Abstract
We examined relations among early experiences, EEG power, and cognition in Bangladesh children. Better nutritional status at six months was related to a smaller increase in theta power between six months and two years and higher cognitive skills at five years, suggesting potentially long-lasting influences of early nutrition on development.
