"This study is one of the first to closely examine the relation between physical activity and word-learning abilities in children as young as 3–6 years of age.

Results align with previous findings stating that aerobic exercise can boost vocabulary learning and suggest that this is the case regardless of existing language skills."

@CarolineBowen @slp_slt @slpfedi this is fascinating. I was told by a neuropsychologist that aerobic exercise will help with frontal lobe development, executive functioning, and anxiety as well.

Sorry for the predicable question, Mary, but did the neuropsychologist cite credible evidence?
@MtMarySLP? @slp_slt @slpfedi

@CarolineBowen @slp_slt @slpfedi not yet. I’ve asked for it, I’m hopeful I’ll receive it.
