Analyze how childhood poverty is associated with the performance on tasks demanding cognitive control and emotional memory, at theneural, cognitive and behavioral levels, in samples of Argentinean preschool- and school-aged children. The experimental approaches arebased on a conceptualization of child development that considers the existence of multiple dynamic systems at different levels oforganization and development contexts. Associative analyses include the application of mixed and multivariate models, whichsimultaneously take into account information from individual children (e.g., cortisol, EEG/ERP, individual trajectories of executive andacademic performances, temperament), their families (e.g., maternal mental health, SES, community resources and stressors, familydevelopmental expectations) and their communities (e.g., cultural norms, customs and traditions, threat stereotypes). The same conceptualand analytical approaches are being applied to databases from other projects (e.g., Young Lives).
