 Better nutrition, leading to more optimal conditions for brain development
 Better home environments (e.g., more toys, puzzles, books, etc.)
 Smaller family sizes, leading to more one-on-one time between parents and children and more resources per child
 Higher education levels for parents
 Better schooling for children
 More access to information sources (television, reading materials, computers, etc.)
