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…

Jonathan Lassen; Bob Oranje; Martin Vestergaard; Malene Foldager; Troels W. Kjaer; Bodil Aggernaes; Sidse Arnfred – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Compared to their neurotypically developing peers, children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders tend to have attenuated neural responses in the parietal lobe when attending sensory input, as reflected by a reduced P3b amplitude measured with electroencephalography. However, it is unknown whether a reduced P3b amplitude in autistic…

Atsuko Nakagawa; Masune Sukigara; Kayo Nomura; Yukiyo Nagai; Taishi Miyachi – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
Objective: In preterm and very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, attention-related problems have been found to be more pronounced and emerge later as academic difficulties that may persist into school age. In response, based on three attention networks: alerting, orienting, and executive attention, we examined the development of attention functions…

Amanallah Soltani; Deborah J. Fidler; Lina Patel; Kellie Voth; Anna J. Esbensen – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2025
This study explored how caregiver-reported executive functioning domains, assessed by the BRIEF2 at baseline, predicted behavioral challenges reported by caregivers using the CBCL six months later. The sample included 94 youth with Down syndrome, aged 6 to 18 years. Results of hierarchical regression analyses revealed that, after controlling for…

Wilkey, Eric D. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
Attention and executive functions (EFs) play a critical role in academic skill development, including literacy and numeracy. Deficits in attention and EFs often accompany learning disorders, such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. Despite their well-established link, we lack a nuanced understanding of the specific neurobiological mechanisms that…

Bernardo Benites de Cerqueira; Andressa Aparecida Garces Gamarra Salem; Caroline de Oliveira Cardoso; Rochele Paz Fonseca; João Batista Mossmann; Débora Nice Ferrari Barbosa – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Executive Functions are essential for good school performance as well as for the proper development of individuals' socio-affective, vocational, academic, and planning skills. Investigations with digital games aimed at stimulating inhibitory control of the executive functions in the school environment, especially with typically developing children…

Anderman, Eric M.; Gilman, Richard; Liu, Xingfeiyue; Ha, Seung Yon – Psychology in the Schools, 2022
We examine the relationships of executive functioning problems (EFP) to academic cheating in a sample of 855 adolescents. Participants completed assessments of inattention, hyperactivity, and depression using the BASC-2, as well as peer-reports of externalizing behavior. After controlling for known predictors of cheating (e.g., demographics and…

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…

Arif Akçay; Arif Altun – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Debugging is an intellectually rich and a challenging process when learning a programming language. This process is important for increasing the quality of the program and making it functional. Debugging, by its nature, is thought to be a practice with a state of focus and concentration. This study explored whether the debugging performance could…

Zhao, Lei – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
A growing number of researchers have begun to highlight the potential negative effects of the excessive use of social media on college students. In particular, college students engage in social media multitasking, in which they perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Such action could adversely influence their academic performance. Hence, on the…

Carolina Guedes; Tiago Ferreira; Marina Serra de Lemos; Joana Cadima – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025
This longitudinal study explores the associations between children's executive functions at the beginning of preschool and their learning behaviors, namely competence motivation and attentional persistence, at the end of preschool. Participants were 218 Portuguese children (M[subscript age]= 40.4 months, SD= 4.2; 52% boys) and their preschool…

Matteo Giuriato; Nicola Lovecchio – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2025
Aim: This study investigates the impact of an enhanced physical education (PE) program on attentional functions in middle school students. The aim is to evaluate whether increasing physical education hours, emphasizing cognitive tasks and team-based activities, could positively influence students' executive functions. Methods: The study involved…

Cara E. Pugliese; Rebecca Handsman; Xiaozhen You; Laura Gutermuth Anthony; Chandan Vaidya; Lauren Kenworthy – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, aggression, and inattention are common in autistic youth and are challenging to treat by community providers. We aim to parse the heterogeneity of autism based on dimensions of executive function and determine whether specific executive function profiles are differentially related to…

Ghada Amaireh; Line Caes; Aimee Theyer; Christina Davidson; Sobanawartiny Wijeakumar – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Caregiver executive functions (EFs) play an integral role in shaping cognitive development. Here, we investigated how caregiver EF abilities (86 caregivers; "mean age" = 33.4 years, SD = 4.5) was associated with visual working memory (VWM) in infants (86 infants females; mean age = 250.6 days, SD = 35.8). The BRIEF-A was used to assess…
