Dutra, Natália B.; Chen, Lydia; Anum, Adote; Burger, Oskar; Davis, Helen E.; Dzokoto, Vivian A.; Fong, Frankie T. K.; Ghelardi, Sabrina; Mendez, Kimberly; Messer, Emily J. E.; Newhouse, Morgan; Nielsen, Mark G.; Ramos, Karlos; Rawlings, Bruce; dos Santos, Renan A. C.; Silveira, Lara G. S.; Tucker-Drob, Elliot M.; Legare, Cristine H. – Developmental Science, 2022
Self-regulation is a widely studied construct, generally assumed to be cognitively supported by executive functions (EFs). There is a lack of clarity and consensus over the roles of specific components of EFs in self-regulation. The current study examines the relations between performance on (a) a self-regulation task (Heads, Toes, Knees Shoulders…

Azevedo, Bruno de; Oliveira, Davi Alves; Finger, Ingrid; Tomitch, Lêda Maria Braga – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2022
The ubiquity of multitasking has led researchers to investigate its potential costs for reading and learning (Clinton-Lisell, 2021). While some studies have not shown detrimental effects of multitasking for reading comprehension (Bowman et al., 2010; Cho et al., 2015; Pashler et al., 2013), one particular study has found a benefit of multitasking…

Isis Angelica Segura; Hugo Cogo-Moreira; Ali Nouri; Monica Carolina Miranda; Sabine Pompéia – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Cultural background can influence cognition, including executive functions (EFs), abilities that encompass skills responsible for self-regulation of thoughts and behavior. The seminal unity and diversity model of EFs proposes the existence, in adulthood, of at least three correlated but separable EF latent (shared variance in more than one…

We aimed to investigate the effects of phonological awareness -- PA, rapid automatised naming -- RAN, visuospatial and verbal working memory -- WM and executive functions -- EF on the reading and arithmetic skills of children with low- to medium-performance levels. Participants were 472 Brazilian children from 3rd to 5th grades. Quantile…

Brito, Gabriel; Leon, Camila; Ribeiro, Camila; Trevisan, Bruna; Dias, Natália; Seabra, Alessandra – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Evidence points to the possibility of promoting executive functions (EF) through school interventions. Little is known, however, about the effectiveness of this type of intervention in situations of social vulnerability. This study investigated the effectiveness of an EF intervention program applied with a sample of preschool children, in a…

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…

Liter, Adam; Grolla, Elaine; Lidz, Jeffrey – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
Non-adult-like linguistic behavior in children is sometimes taken as evidence for endogenous factors that drive selection of grammatical features from the child's hypothesis space of possible grammars. Analyses of English-acquiring children's productions of medial "wh"-phrases exemplify this trend in particular. We provide an alternative…

de Paula, Artemis Paiva; Felinto, Priscila Magalhães Barros; Mascarenhas, Brisa Fernandes; Lima, Sarah Camilla Ferreira de Oliveira; Gobbi, Flávia Horta Azevedo; Hazin, Izabel Augusta – Early Child Development and Care, 2018
The construct autobiographical memory (AM) refers to the mnemonic skill that enables individuals to form personal memories about their lives and re-experience them. Its ontogeny can be understood from the dialectic construction of maturational processes and the cultural-historical context. This research sought to further the knowledge regarding…

Dias, Natália Martins; Seabra, Alessandra Gotuzo – Educational Psychology, 2017
Executive functions (EF) can be promoted by classroom interventions. Our study investigated whether (a) an intervention conducted by teachers improves EF in children; (b) there are effects on behaviour and academic achievement; and (c) there are stable benefits in a one-year follow-up. Fifty-eight first-graders, divided into experimental (EG = 28)…
