Al-Hassan; Dario Bacchini; Kirby Deater-Deckard – Developmental Science, 2025
Executive functioning (EF) is an important developing self-regulatory process that has implications for academic, social, and emotional outcomes. Most work in EF has focused on childhood, and less has examined the development of EF throughout adolescence and into emerging adulthood. The present study assessed longitudinal trajectories of EF from…

Sofia Kouvava; Katerina Antonopoulou; Constantinos M. Kokkinos; Asimina M. Ralli – Topics in Language Disorders, 2025
The present study explores the relationships among executive functions (EFs) (working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility), number of friends, friendship stability and friendship quality in neurotypical (NT) children and peers with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or dyslexia. The participants were 192 children…

The results of Cognitive Intervention (CI) programs vary considerably; thus, it is helpful to assess the characteristics that enhance the effectiveness of these programs. Our objectives were to analyze the effectiveness of a multicomponent CI program called UMAM on cognitive performance, subjective memory, daily forgetfulness, and mood of…

Chen, Chih-Chia; Ryuh, Yonjoong; Mackey, Kathryn – Physical Educator, 2022
This study investigated the cognitive effect of a unified flag football program in young adults with intellectual disabilities (ID). Twelve participants practiced football drills with their typical peers for 50 min each session, twice a week for 15 weeks. Measures of three aspects of executive functions (e.g., verbal working memory, measured as…

Wang, Yijie; Chen, Mingzhang; Zhang, Youchuan; Chen, Yulu – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Executive function (EF) has rarely been considered for adolescents' daily school outcomes or in conjunction with ethnic/racial discrimination. Using 2-week, daily data from 137 ethnic/racial minority adolescents (M[subscript age] = 14.56; 53% female; 56% Black, 19% Latinx, 7% Asian, 7% Native, 12% other [e.g., multiracial]) in the Midwest United…

Mirjam de Vreeze-Westgeest; Sara Mata; Francisca Serrano; Wilma Resing; Bart Vogelaar – European Journal of Psychology and Educational Research, 2023
The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an online dynamic test in reading and writing, differentiating in typically developing children (n = 47) and children diagnosed with dyslexia (n = 30) aged between nine and twelve years. In doing so, it was analysed whether visual working memory, auditory working memory, inhibition,…

Rogalski, Yvonne; Key-DeLyria, Sarah E.; Hazamy, Audrey; Altmann, Lori J. P. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study compared global coherence (GC) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) to a healthy older adult (HOA) group during single (sitting) and dual (stationary cycling) tasks. Additionally, it explored the relationship between GC and cognition in PD. Method: Thirty-seven individuals with PD and 19 HOAs participated in the…

Hood, Audrey V. B.; Charbonneau, Brooke; Hutchison, Keith A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Previous research has shown that Stroop effects interact with working memory capacity (WMC) more strongly with lists of mostly congruent items. Although the predominant explanation for this relationship is goal maintenance, some research has challenged whether listwide effects truly reflect goal-maintenance abilities. The current study improved…

Aoyama, Sho; Imai-Matsumura, Kyoko – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The purpose of the present study was to clarify comprehensively how and to what extent inhibition, spatial working memory (WM), and auditory WM influence agility, balance, and dexterity of motor coordination and comprehensive physical ability in kindergarteners. Participants were 43 children between the ages of 4 and 5 years old. The children…

Deng, Meiqi; Cai, Dan; Zhou, Xuan; Leung, Ada W. S. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2022
The aim of the present study was to investigate the executive function and planning features of students with different types of learning difficulties. Students with mathematics difficulty (MD; n = 17), reading difficulty (RD; n = 12), and their commonalities (MDRD; n = 22), along with typically academically developing peers (TD; n = 22), were…

Spinelli, Giacomo; Goldsmith, Samantha F.; Lupker, Stephen J.; Morton, J. Bruce – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
According to some accounts, the bilingual advantage is most pronounced in the domain of executive attention rather than inhibition and should therefore be more easily detected in conflict adaptation paradigms than in simple interference paradigms. We tested this idea using two conflict adaptation paradigms, one that elicits a list-wide…
