Brandes-Aitken, Annie; Braren, Stephen; Gandhi, Jill; Perry, Rosemarie E.; Rowe-Harriott, Sashana; Blair, Clancy – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Using data from a large longitudinal sample (N = 1,292) of children and their caregivers in predominantly low-income, nonurban communities, we investigated longitudinal relations between attuned caregiving in infancy, joint attention in toddlerhood, and executive functions in early childhood. The results from path analysis demonstrated that…

In the current study, we examined executive function (EF) prior to school entry as a predictor of…

Raver, C. Cybele; Blair, Clancy; Willoughby, Michael – Developmental Psychology, 2013
In a predominantly low-income, population-based longitudinal sample of 1,259 children followed from birth, results suggest that chronic exposure to poverty and the strains of financial hardship were each uniquely predictive of young children's performance on measures of executive functioning. Results suggest that temperament-based vulnerability…

Blair, Clancy; Raver, C. Cybele; Berry, Daniel J. – Developmental Psychology, 2014
In the current article, we contrast 2 analytical approaches to estimate the relation of parenting to executive function development in a sample of 1,292 children assessed longitudinally between the ages of 36 and 60 months of age. Children were administered a newly developed and validated battery of 6 executive function tasks tapping inhibitory…

Berry, Daniel; Willoughby, Michael T.; Blair, Clancy; Ursache, Alexandra; Granger, Douglas A. – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Intervention studies indicate that children's childcare experiences can be leveraged to support the development of executive functioning (EF). The role of more normative childcare experiences is less clear. Increasingly, theory and empirical work suggest that individual differences in children's physiological stress systems may be associated with…
