The Role of Chaos in Poverty and Children's Socioemotional Adjustment

Abstract: There are growing levels of chaos in the lives of American children, youth, and families. Increasingly, children grow up in households lacking in structure and routine, inundated by background stimulation from noise and crowding, and forced to contend with the frenetic pace of modern life.

[63][64][65] Low SES children are found to be more likely to be deficient in language skills, as well as selfregulatory behaviors and also in certain types of memory that are likely to be reflections of impaired development of parasylvian gyrus language centers, prefrontal cortical systems and temporal lobe memory systems. 66,67 Low SES also correlates with smaller hippocampal volumes.…”
