Abstract: The children's early development of cognition and brain activity would play a crucial role in their whole life. The fNIRS, as a new neuroimaging technique, is especially suitable for the studies on young children with its advantages of being relatively noninvasive, portable and insensitive to head-moving. This review summarized the fNIRS studies of the development of early advanced cognitive ability and prefrontal function from four aspects. In the follow-up studies, researchers should pay more attention to explore the dynamic relationship between the development of early advanced cognitive ability and prefrontal function, and to study the critical period of the development of early advanced cognitive ability and prefrontal function. In addition, studies on prefrontal dysfunction should be conducted to provide evidence for the early diagnosis of developmental disable children and children at risk for developmental disability.

Key words: early childhood, development of advanced cognitive ability, development of prefrontal function, fNIRS
