Executive Functions and Science Achievement during the Five-to-Seven-Year Shift
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Kim, Matthew H.; Bousselot, Tracy E.; Ahmed, Sammy F. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Executive functions (EF) are domain-general cognitive skills that predict foundational academic skills such as literacy and numeracy. However, less is known about the relation between EFs and science achievement. The nature of this relation might be explained by the theory of mutualism, which states that development is the result of complex and…

Hooper, Stephen R.; Costa, Lara-Jeane C.; Green, Melissa B.; Catlett, Stephanie R.; Barker, Alexandra; Fernandez, Edmund P.; Faldowski, Richard A. – Grantee Submission, 2019
The purpose of this study was to investigate the concurrent relationships between selected teacher-rated executive function (EF) and a comprehensive array of emergent literacy skills in preschool children after adjusting for targeted covariates including at-risk status. The sample comprised 114 three-year-olds who were attending Head Start…

Verbal and Nonverbal Predictors of Executive Function in Early Childhood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Stephens, Rebecca L.; Langworthy, Benjamin; Short, Sarah J.; Goldman, Barbara D.; Girault, Jessica B.; Fine, Jason P.; Reznick, J. Steven; Gilmore, John H. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2018
The study of executive function (EF) has become increasingly popular in multiple areas of research. A wealth of evidence has supported the value of EF in shaping notable outcomes across typical and atypical development; however, little evidence has supported the cognitive contributors to early EF development. The current study used data from a…

Theory of Mind in Middle Childhood: Longitudinal Associations with Executive Function and Social Competence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Devine, Rory T.; White, Naomi; Ensor, Rosie; Hughes, Claire – Developmental Psychology, 2016
The vast majority of studies on theory of mind (ToM) have focused on the preschool years. Extending the developmental scope of ToM research presents opportunities to both reassess theoretical accounts of ToM and test its predictive utility. The twin aims of this longitudinal study were to examine developmental relations between ToM, executive…

Is Self-Regulation "All in the Family"? Testing Environmental Effects Using Within-Family Quasi-Experiments
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Deater-Deckard, Kirby – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2016
Most of the individual difference variance in the population is found "within" families, yet studying the processes causing this variation is difficult due to confounds between genetic and nongenetic influences. Quasi-experiments can be used to test hypotheses regarding environment exposure (e.g., timing, duration) while controlling for…

Source Monitoring and Executive Function in 2.5- to 3-Year-Olds
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hala, Suzanne; McKay, Lee-Ann; Brown, Alisha M. B.; San Juan, Valerie – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2016
Hala, Brown, McKay, and San Juan (2013) found that children as young as 2.5 years of age demonstrated high levels of accuracy when asked to recall whether they or the experimenter had carried out a particular action. In the research reported here, we examined the relation of early-emerging source monitoring to executive function abilities.…
