Costanza Ruffini; Eva Bei; Chiara Pecini – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Socio-emotional school behavior and learning are both fundamental aspects of children's development influenced by cognitive control processes named Executive Functions (EF). Yet, research on school-age children has often focused on the relationship between EF and learning skills overlooking that of EF and school behavior, which has usually been…

Wang, Yiji; Liu, Yanxi – Child Development, 2021
This study sought to elucidate the contributions of inferior executive function and social competence to the development of internalizing and externalizing problems in primary school. Children (N = 1,115), on average 5.36 years old in first grade, were followed across primary school with measures of multi-method and multi-informant. Results of…

Cumming, Michelle M.; Poling, Daniel V.; Qiu, Yuxi; Prykanowski, Debra A.; Lumpkins, Aniva; Daunic, Ann P.; Corbett, Nancy; Smith, Stephen W. – Exceptional Children, 2023
Executive function (EF), a set of neurocognitive processes, is central to students' emotional and behavioral well-being. Despite students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) being at risk for negative long-term outcomes, there is a paucity of EF research with students at risk for EBD in early elementary school, an important…

Uus, Õnne; Kikas, Eve – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2023
Self-regulation forms the rudiments for children's academic achievement and socialization. Although one's executive control and verbal skills are needed in both of the core aspects for academic performance: processing to regulate one's own learning and behavior, young students' cognitive capacity for that is still immature influencing the…

McCoy, Dana C.; Hanno, Emily C.; Ponczek, Vladimir; Pinto, Cristine; Fonseca, Gabriela; Marchi, Natália – Child Development, 2021
Despite global demand, the large-scale effects of social-emotional learning (SEL) programming in developing countries remain underexplored. Using a randomized control trial, this study examined the effectiveness of a school-wide SEL intervention--"Programa Compasso" (PC)--among 3,018 sociodemographically diverse, Portuguese-speaking…

Kristin Romvig Overgaard; Beate Oerbeck; Svein Friis; Are Hugo Pripp; Heidi Aase; Christine Baalsrud Ingeborgrud; Guido Biele – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
Objective: Children with ADHD often experience functional impairments across various aspects of daily life. This study addresses the dearth of longitudinal research on functional impairment trajectories from preschool to school age in children with symptoms of ADHD and comorbid disorders. Methods: We investigated the extent to which functional…

Goble, Priscilla; Nauman, Cambrian; Fife, Katelyn; Blalock, Sarah M. – Infant and Child Development, 2020
The current study examined the effect of children's positive relationships and interactions with their teachers and the development of executive function (EF) skills in first grade. A primary objective was to examine externalizing behaviour problems (EBPs) as a potential moderator of the link between teacher-child relationships and interactions…

Pesce, Caterina; Lakes, Kimberley D.; Stodden, David F.; Marchetti, Rosalba – Child Development, 2021
This study evaluated whether a theory-based intervention in physical education (PE) designed to train self-control may positively impact children's quick-temperedness and disruptiveness and whether changes in executive functions (EFs) may be a correlate or antecedent of such effects. One hundred and sixteen children aged 8-9 years participated in…

Yoonkyung Oh; Paul L. Morgan; Mark T. Greenberg; Tricia A. Zucker; Susan H. Landry – Grantee Submission, 2024
Background: Both transactional and common etiological models have been proposed as explanations of why externalizing behavior problems (EBP) and internalizing behavior problems (IBP) co-occur in children. Yet little research has empirically evaluated these competing theoretical explanations. We examined whether EBP and IBP are transactionally…

Kelley Durkin; Dale Farran; Mark Lipsey – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background/Context: State-funded prekindergarten has expanded rapidly in the U.S., and there are expectations that it will have longer-term positive effects on later academic and nonacademic outcomes (e.g., Phillips et al., 2017). There is strong evidence of pre-k effects on measures of kindergarten readiness (e.g., Gormley et al., 2005; Weiland…

Longo, Zachary T. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
The present study investigated the relationship between two major components of executive functioning (EF) and externalizing behavior problems (EBP) during the early elementary years. More specifically, Working Memory (WM) and Cognitive Flexibility (CF) measured in kindergarten through second grade were used to predict teacher ratings of EBP in…

Ng-Knight, Terry; Gilligan-Lee, Katie A.; Massonnié, Jessica; Gaspard, Hanna; Gooch, Debbie; Querstret, Dawn; Johnstone, Nicola – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Emerging evidence suggests interventions can improve childhood self-regulation. One intervention approach that has shown promise is Taekwondo martial arts instruction, though little is known about its acceptability among stakeholders or its mechanisms of effect. We extend evidence on Taekwondo interventions in three ways: (1) testing the efficacy…

Lechner, Viola; Ortelbach, Niklas; Peter, Charlotte; Scheithauer, Herbert – International Journal of Developmental Science, 2022
Children face increased demands for interpersonal as well as learning-related social skills, especially by the vulnerable stage of school entry, due to the more structured setting, new academic requirements, and the fact that children are supposed to interact successfully within a larger and heterogeneous peer group. Although a plethora of…

Eve Müller; Caitlin Wood; Deb Childress; Lynn Cannon; William Dardick – Journal of International Special Needs Education, 2023
Ivymount Social Cognition Instructional Project (IvySCIP) supports teachers and related service providers to implement data-driven social and emotional learning (SEL) instruction for their kindergarten through 5th grade students with social cognition challenges, especially those with high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HF-ASD). Based on…

Votruba-Drzal, Elizabeth; Miller, Portia; Betancur, Laura; Spielvogel, Bryn; Kruzik, Claudia; Coley, Rebekah Levine – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Income disparities in children's academic and behavioral skills have grown larger over the past 50 years. At the same time, economic segregation across communities has increased, raising questions regarding the role of community factors in explaining income gaps in children's functioning. Combining geospatial data with longitudinal survey data…
