To the researchers tried to link the influence of an older brother relationship with language ability and IQ of a child , especially in filling the void of attention from parents .

Researchers observed a number of families from Toronto , Canada , and collect 385 children with a brother whose age is at least four years older . The interaction between the mother with the youngest then assessed , as well as interaction with the younger brother . For instance judge which one is more sensitive to the ability of the child and provide positive reciprocity , whether the sister or mother.

Treasury said the boy also tested , namely by asking the child pointed to a picture after the name of objects in the image are spoken by the researcher . It turns out that children who have a lot of brothers certainly have a word perbendarahaan test scores lower than children whose families are smaller .

Conversely , children who are known to have high interaction with her ​​brother tend to get higher scores than children who do not really care about his brother .

Not satisfied , Jenkins then plans to conduct an experiment to create a program to encourage the brothers to establish better interaction with her ​​sisters , particularly to ascertain whether it can affect cognitive abilities younger siblings or not .

Yet Jenkins admitted if they show the limitations of their study , partly because the researchers did not observe any interaction like brother and sister owned it .

" What is clear where you actually play a very strong role in the characteristics of a child . I also want people to think that the more fraternal relationship was more than just a blood relationship and figure out how to strengthen it , " he said as quoted by Reuters on Sunday ( 02/02/2014 ) .
