Eduardo Melguizo-Ibáñez; Pilar Puertas-Molero; Gabriel González Valero; José Manuel Alonso-Vargas – Quest, 2025
This study aims to study the effect of active breaks on different executive functions regarding the intervention and the session length. A systematic review from January to April 2024 was conducted. The search was carried out in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Eric, and PsycINFO databases. Active breaks are effective in promoting the…

Xiaoliang Zhu; Yixin Tang; Jiaqi Lu; Minyuan Song; Chunliang Yang; Xin Zhao – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Mathematical ability is a crucial component of human cognitive function, which is defined as the ability to acquire, process, and store mathematical information. While many studies have documented a close relationship between elementary school children's inhibitory control and their mathematical ability, existing empirical evidence remains…

Lucas G. Gago-Galvagno; Stephanie E. Miller; Natalia A. Mancini; Ailin C. Simaes; Angel M. Elgier; Susana C. Azzollini – Child Development Perspectives, 2024
Although executive functions (EFs) have been identified as a cornerstone of cognitive development, knowledge of this fundamental ability in children is based primarily on research with North American and Western European samples of middle to high socioeconomic status (SES). In this article, we highlight advances in research on developmental EFs…

Alejandro Gonzalez-Andrade; Javier Tubío; Aitor Alvarez-Bardon; Sandra Santiago-Ramajo – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2024
Executive functions (EF) play a fundamental role in the acquisition of learning, especially in mathematics. The literature seems to indicate that fitness and physical activity (PA) have an important impact on cognition, including EF. Although the relationship between these variables seems evident, few studies have investigated the mediation role…

Robbie A. Ross; Kate E. Ascetta – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
Young children's self-regulation (SR) skills are linked to many important outcomes across the lifespan and school stakeholders widely agree that these skills should be prioritized in schools. Despite broad agreement about the importance of these skills, the diverse field of SR research is rife with a lack of clarity in both conceptual definitions…

Laura Dörrenbächer-Ulrich; Marius Bregulla – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Self-regulated learning (SRL) and executive functions (EF) are broad concepts stemming from different research areas. They have been defined and modeled in various ways and are repeatedly related to each other in the literature, but so far, no systematic analyses of these relations have been published. Therefore, a systematic analysis of their…

Wanjiang Zhou; Pablo Saiz-González; Ronny Rodriguez Aragon; Kaitlyn Adams; Zan Gao – Quest, 2024
This systematic review synthesized current literature regarding the effect of physical activity (PA) interventions on brain structure (BS) and brain function (BF) in healthy children. This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews protocols and used the Rayyan web for data extraction. Eleven experimental studies were…

Paavola Satu; Laakso Minna; Saalasti Satu – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
In this scoping review on 34 studies, we examined the use of immersive virtual reality (IVR) in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). IVR was mostly used in connection with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for assessment of and intervention in social skills, and in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for assessment of executive…

Enhancing Executive Function in Children and Adolescents through Motor Learning: A Systematic Review
Madison J. Richter; Hassan Ali; Maarten A. Immink – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2025
Enhancing executive function in children and adolescents can have significant positive impact on their current and future daily lives. Upregulation of executive function associated with motor skill acquisition suggests that motor learning scenarios provide valuable developmental opportunities to optimize executive function. The present systematic…

Maria Camila Londono; Carmen Dionne; Carl Lacharité – Journal of Early Intervention, 2025
Executive functions (EFs) are cognitive skills that begin developing in early life and are crucial for children's overall development and daily task performance. Generally, EFs are assessed through standardized neuropsychological tests, which may not always accurately capture real-world application. To overcome this limitation, alternative methods…

Gillian P. Andrikos; Cindy Ann Smith; Marina Ciccarelli – Australasian Journal of Special and Inclusive Education, 2024
Young people with intellectual disability (ID) frequently have challenges with self-regulation that impact their success and participation in daily life. As they often require additional support with self-regulation, it is important to consider regulatory function and skill development within the context of co-regulatory interactions with…

Are Metacognition Interventions in Young Children Effective? Evidence from a Series of Meta-Analyses
Janina Eberhart; Franziska Schäfer; Donna Bryce – Metacognition and Learning, 2025
A metacognitive learner acts in a planful way, monitors their progress, flexibly adapts their strategies, and reflects on their learning. Unsurprisingly, a metacognitive approach to learning is an important predictor of children's academic performance and many attempts have been made to promote metacognition in young children. The current…

Tal Ness; Valerie J. Langlois; Albert E. Kim; Jared M. Novick – Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2025
Understanding language requires readers and listeners to cull meaning from fast-unfolding messages that often contain conflicting cues pointing to incompatible ways of interpreting the input (e.g., "The cat was chased by the mouse"). This article reviews mounting evidence from multiple methods demonstrating that cognitive control plays…

Èlia Pagespetit; Mireia Pagerols; Natalia Barrés; Raquel Prat; Laura Martínez; María Andreu; Gemma Prat; Miquel Casas; Rosa Bosch – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
It is currently accepted that ADHD leads to important difficulties in the educational functioning of children and adolescents. However, its actual relevance on the performance of university students is not yet recognized in the academic milieu and University Management Foundations. Objectives: The present study performed a systematic review of the…

Timothy E. Wilens; Mira Stone; Sylvia Lanni; Amy Berger; Ronan L. H. Wilson; Melis Lydston; Craig B. Surman – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Introduction: Executive function (EF) deficits are common in youth with ADHD and pose significant functional impairments. The extent and effect of interventions addressing EF in youth with ADHD remain unclear. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review using PRISMA guidelines. Included studies were randomized controlled trials of…
