Weckesser, Lisa Juliane; Schmidt, Kornelius; Möschl, Marcus; Kirschbaum, Clemens; Enge, Sören; Miller, Robert – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Accidents caused by human errors illustrate the fragility of cognitive processing and its coordination by executive functions against stress. To better understand how core executive functions change over time, influence each other, and are affected by chronic stress exposure, a prospective cohort study was conducted from 2016 to 2019. Five hundred…

Preschool Executive Function and Adult Outcomes: A Developmental Cascade Model
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ahmed, Sammy F.; Kuhfeld, Megan; Watts, Tyler W.; Davis-Kean, Pamela E.; Vandell, Deborah Lowe – Developmental Psychology, 2021
The present study examined longitudinal associations between preschoolers' executive function (EF) and adult educational attainment, impulse control, and general health directly and through its cascading effects on childhood and adolescent EF using a large, national, and prospective longitudinal sample of participants. Data were drawn from the…

When Do Mothers' Executive Functions Contribute to Their Representations of Their Child's Mind? A Contextual View on Parental Reflective Functioning and Mind-Mindedness
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yatziv, Tal; Kessler, Yoav; Atzaba-Poria, Naama – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Parental mentalization refers to parents' capacity to treat their children as having minds of their own and consider the mental states underlying their behaviors. This study examined the roles of mothers' executive functions (EFs), a group of processes supporting self-regulation, in 2 aspects of parental mentalization--spontaneity as measured by…

Iron Deficiency in Infancy and Neurocognitive and Educational Outcomes in Young Adulthood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
East, Patricia; Doom, Jenalee R.; Blanco, Estela; Burrows, Raquel; Lozoff, Betsy; Gahagan, Sheila – Developmental Psychology, 2021
This study examines the extent to which iron deficiency in infancy contributes to adverse neurocognitive and educational outcomes in young adulthood directly and indirectly, through its influence on verbal cognition and attention problems in childhood. Young adults (N = 1,000, M age = 21.3 years, 52% female; of Spanish or indigenous descent) from…

Inhibitory Control in Siblings Discordant for Exposure to Maternal Smoking during Pregnancy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Micalizzi, Lauren; Marceau, Kristine; Brick, Leslie A.; Palmer, Rohan H.; Todorov, Alexandre A.; Heath, Andrew C.; Evans, Allison; Knopik, Valerie S. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Maternal smoking during pregnancy (SDP) has been linked to poorer offspring executive function across development, but SDP does not occur independent of other familial risk factors. As such, poor and inconsistent control for potential confounds, notably shared familial (i.e., genetic and environmental) confounds, preclude concluding causal effects…

Cumulative Psychosocial Risk, Parental Socialization, and Child Cognitive Functioning: A Longitudinal Cascade Model
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wade, Mark; Madigan, Sheri; Plamondon, Andre; Rodrigues, Michelle; Browne, Dillon; Jenkins, Jennifer M. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Previous studies have demonstrated that various psychosocial risks are associated with poor cognitive functioning in children, and these risks frequently cluster together. In the current longitudinal study, we tested a model in which it was hypothesized that cumulative psychosocial adversity of mothers would have deleterious effects on children's…
