- Summary
- Reviews the changing hypotheses and concepts concerning theeffect of malnutrition on mental development. Experimentalresearch during the past 8-10 years has shifted from andemphasis on mental retardation to an emphasis on behavioralchanges induced by malnutrition. Further, researchers nowconsider the role of environment in cognitive developmentand how malnutrition interferes with the interaction of thechild with its environment. Research on malnutrition inanimals and its relevance to humans is discussed. Specifictopics include: 1) background to the study of malnutritionin relation to child mental development and invironment ; 2) effects of malnutrition and nutrient consumption on thecentral nervous system ; 3) effects of malnutrition onsubprimate behavior, environmental adaptation and learning ; 4) effects of nutrition on human and nonhuman primates.
