Caroline Edmonds

Professor Caroline Edmonds is affiliated with the Childhood & Social Care research institute at University of East London. Her extensive research examines how hydration affects cognitive functions across different populations, with special focus on children's cognitive performance, neonatal neurology outcomes, and hydration-related interventions.

Research interests span cognitive psychology, hydration science, and paediatric neurology. Key investigations explore water intake effects on memory, attention, and motor skills; neurodevelopmental outcomes following neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy; and nature-based interventions for childhood development.

Publication trends show consistent focus on hydration-cognition relationships (50% of recent articles), paediatric neurodevelopment (30%), and educational interventions (20%). Methodologies include controlled trials, systematic reviews, and cross-cultural studies in both laboratory and real-world settings.
