Overview

The CDBB develops scientific initiatives and supports research and research training relevant to the psychological, psychobiological, language, behavioral, and educational development and health of children.

The following theme characterizes all Branch programs: Development is best described and studied as a variable process in which individual differences in cognitive, social, affective, language, neurobiological and physical maturation, environment and life experiences, and genetics interact in complex ways.

To learn more about the Branch's activities, read the CDBB Report to the NACHHD Council (January 2009).
