Direct linkKieffer, Michael J.; Christodoulou, Joanna A. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2020
The authors investigated the roles of reading fluency in mediating and moderating the relation between executive functions and reading comprehension. Linguistically diverse students (n = 106) were assessed on multiple measures of reading fluency at the passage and word levels, reading comprehension, and executive functions in grade 7 and again in…

Larson, Caroline; Gangopadhyay, Ishanti; Kaushanskaya, Margarita; Weismer, Susan Ellis – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This study examined the relationship between language and planning, a higher order executive function skill, in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing (TD) children. We hypothesized differences between groups in planning performance and in the role of verbal mediation during planning. Method: Thirty-one…

Investigating the Associations between Family Alliance and Executive Functioning in Middle Childhood
Hébert, Élizabeth; Regueiro, Sophie; Bernier, Annie – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
There is now wide consensus that the quality of family relationships is involved in the development of child executive functioning (EF), a set of cognitive skills that bear critical importance for social and academic adjustment at school. This body of research has, however, focused almost exclusively on dyadic parent-child interactions and failed…

Cumming, Michelle M.; Bettini, Elizabeth; Pham, Andy V.; Park, Jeeyun – Review of Educational Research, 2020
Executive functioning (EF) is key to students' school and lifelong success and reflects both genetic predisposition and sensitivity to negative and positive experiences. Yet there is less available literature investigating the relationship between typical experiences within school environments and student EF development. This is unfortunate, as…

Duval, Stéphanie; Bouchard, Caroline; Pagé, Pierre; Hamel, Christine – Cogent Education, 2016
The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between the quality of classroom interactions in kindergarten and executive functions (EFs) among 5-year-old children. The sample consisted of 118 children, with a mean age of 73.34 months (SD = 4.22), from 12 kindergarten classes. The quality of classroom interactions was measured using the…

McEwen, Rhonda N.; Dubé, Adam K. – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
Communications studies and psychology offer analytical and methodological tools that when combined have the potential to bring novel perspectives on human interaction with technologies. In this study of children using simple and complex mathematics applications on tablet computers, cognitive load theory is used to answer the question: how…

De Loof, Esther; Verguts, Tom; Fias, Wim; Van Opstal, Filip – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Cognitive theories on consciousness propose a strong link between consciousness and working memory (WM). This link is also present at the neural level: Both consciousness and WM have been implicated in a prefrontal parietal network. However, the link remains empirically unexplored. The present study investigates the relation between consciousness…

Ramsay, Judith; Terras, Melody M. – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2015
The use of technology to support learning is well recognised. One generation ago a major strand of human--computer interaction research focussed on the development of forms of instruction in how to interact with computers. Today, however, the advanced usability of modern technologies has all but removed the presence of many user manuals. Learners,…

Huyder, Vanessa; Nilsen, Elizabeth S. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2012
Behaving in a socially competent manner is a complex process that requires the coordination of a number of cognitive skills. The present study examined the unique contributions of executive functions (i.e., inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility), theory of mind, and verbal skills to socially competent behaviours during social interactions.…

Dolan, Robert P.; Burling, Kelly; Harms, Michael; Strain-Seymour, Ellen; Way, Walter; Rose, David H. – Pearson, 2013
The increased capabilities offered by digital technologies offer new opportunities to evaluate students' deeper knowledge and skills and on constructs that are difficult to measure using traditional methods. Such assessments can also incorporate tools and interfaces that improve accessibility for diverse students, as well as inadvertently…
