Understanding Effort Regulation: Comparing 'Pomodoro' Breaks and Self-Regulated Breaks
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Biwer, Felicitas; Wiradhany, Wisnu; oude Egbrink, Mirjam G. A.; de Bruin, Anique B. H. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: During self-study, students need to monitor and regulate mental effort to replete working memory resources and optimize learning results. Taking breaks during self-study could be an effective effort regulation strategy. However, little is known about how breaktaking relates to self-regulated learning. Aims: We investigated the effects…

Do Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) Have Difficulties with Interference Control, Visuospatial Working Memory, and Selective Attention? Developmental Patterns and the Role of Severity and Persistence of DLD
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Blom, Elma; Boerma, Tessel – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Many children with developmental language disorder (DLD) have weaknesses in executive functioning (EF), specifically in tasks testing interference control and working memory. It is unknown how EF develops in children with DLD, if EF abilities are related to DLD severity and persistence, and if EF weaknesses expand to selective attention.…

The Unique Role of Verbal Memory, Vocabulary, Concentration and Self-Efficacy in Children's Listening Comprehension in Upper Elementary Grades
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
de Bree, Elise; Zee, Marjolein – First Language, 2021
Listening comprehension is important for daily communication and at school, yet relatively little is known about the variables contributing to listening comprehension, especially in the upper elementary years. The aim of this study was to explore whether vocabulary, verbal memory, but also self-efficacy and self-reported concentration contribute…

Executive Function Training in Children with SLI: A Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vugs, Brigitte; Knoors, Harry; Cuperus, Juliane; Hendriks, Marc; Verhoeven, Ludo – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-based executive function (EF) training in children with specific language impairment (SLI). Ten children with SLI, ages 8 to 12 years, completed a 25-session training of visuospatial working memory, inhibition and cognitive flexibility over a 6-week period. Treatment outcome was…

The Relationship between Media Multitasking and Executive Function in Early Adolescents
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Baumgartner, Susanne E.; Weeda, Wouter D.; van der Heijden, Lisa L.; Huizinga, Mariëtte – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2014
The increasing prevalence of media multitasking among adolescents is concerning because it may be negatively related to goal-directed behavior. This study investigated the relationship between media multitasking and executive function in 523 early adolescents (aged 11-15; 48% girls). The three central components of executive functions (i.e.,…

Executive Functions as Predictors of Math Learning Disabilities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Toll, Sylke W. M.; Van der Ven, Sanne H. G.; Kroesbergen, Evelyn H.; Van Luit, Johannes E. H. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2011
In the past years, an increasing number of studies have investigated executive functions as predictors of individual differences in mathematical abilities. The present longitudinal study was designed to investigate whether the executive functions shifting, inhibition, and working memory differ between low achieving and typically achieving children…
