Young children from low-SES backgrounds are at higher risk for delayed language development, likely due to differences in their home language environment and decreased opportunities for back and forth communicative exchange. Intervention strategies that encourage reciprocal caregiver-child interactions may effectively promote young children's language development and enhance optimal language outcomes. The Filming Interactions to Nurture Development (FIND) program is a brief strength-based video-coaching intervention designed to promote increased back and forth ("serve and return") interactions between caregivers and their children.

Article Synopsis
  • The study of natural behaviors reveals the intricate connections between brain functions and evolved circuits, prompting interest among neuroscientists for years.
  • Traditional research has focused on a few model species and specific stereotyped behaviors, which has advanced understanding but overlooked more complex natural behaviors shaping brain evolution.
  • New technologies allow researchers to connect a wide variety of natural behaviors to neural activity, leading to a roadmap for understanding how brains adapt to social and ecological challenges by addressing the variability in these behaviors.

External motivation, such as a promise of future monetary reward for remembering an event, can affect which events are remembered. Reward-based memory modulation is thought to result from encoding and post-encoding interactions between dopaminergic midbrain, signaling reward, and hippocampus and parahippocampal cortex, supporting episodic memory. We asked whether hippocampal and parahippocampal interactions with other reward-related regions are related to reward modulation of memory and whether such relationships are stable over time.
