Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8471-9415 Intra-and inter-group differences in the cognitive skills of toddler twins with birth weight discordance: the need to enhance their future from early education 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Strengthening of early schooling enhances Equal and Inclusive Education (Sustainable Development Goal 4). Early education protects infant development and learning, especially for children suffering from pathologies and risk factors, such as twin birth weight discordance (BWD). These children—particularly the lighter twin—frequently show disadvantages in their cognitive skills. However, research about this issue is particularly scarce. The aims of this study were to (1) analyze the development of cognitive skills in each type of birth weight discordant twins (heavier and lighter ones) at 18, 21, and 24 months; and (2) discover whether there were differences between the two groups of twins in their cognitive skills. A nomothetic, follow-up, and multidimensional observational design was used. The cognitive skills of 32 birth weight discordant twins were observed while they played at 18, 21, and 24 months. The T-pattern analysis was performed using Thème software (Reykjavík, Iceland) to detect the sequential and temporal structure of infant behavior; indicative of cognitive skills. Results showed: (1) longitudinal intra-group differences in both groups of twins; and (2) some inter-group differences, mainly favoring the heavier twins. These results must be considered for designing early educational practices that allow all twins to be prepared for successful future learning. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S49-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU-AEI-FEDER/PGC2018-098742-B-C31 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.251 2020 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 124 / 273 = 0.454 2020 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 60 / 125 = 0.48 2020 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 30 / 44 = 0.682 2020 Q3 T3 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 6 / 9 = 0.667 2020 Q3 T3 0.611 2020 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2020 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2020 Q1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2020 Q1 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2020 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 4009 735 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
