Latent Profile Analysis of Approaches to Learning: Associations with Executive Function in a Head Start Sample
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Amber H. Beisly; Sherri Castle; Claudette Grinnell-Davis – Excellence in Education Journal, 2023
Children's Approaches to Learning (AtL) represents how children seek learning opportunities in their classrooms. It can include children's persistence, attention, and initiative. It has often been studied using a composite of a teacher-rated scale. However, person-centered approaches may account for heterogeneity in children's learning approaches,…

Exploring the Effect of Cool and Hot EFs Training in Four-Year-Old Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pellizzoni, Sandra; Fontana, Martina; Passolunghi, Maria Chiara – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Executive Functions (EFs) are crucial top-down processes characterized by cool and hot aspects, required for goal-directed behaviour. Only a few studies evaluated and trained concurrently cool and hot EFs. Therefore, we promote a training aiming to enhance both EFs components. A total of 91 children attending the second year of kindergarten were…

Tara L. Hofkens; Jessica Whittaker; Robert C. Pianta; Virginia Vitiello; Erik Ruzek; Arya Ansari – Grantee Submission, 2022
Despite research demonstrating the importance of mathematics achievement to children's educational success and trajectories, many children enter kindergarten without the foundational mathematics skills needed to succeed (Garcia & Weiss, 2015). Children's executive function (EF) skills and their learning-related behaviors (Anthony & Ogg,…

Children's Task-Switching Efficiency: Missing Our Cue?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Holt, Anna E.; Deák, Gedeon – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2015
In simple rule-switching tests, 3- and 4-year-olds can follow each of two sorting rules but sometimes make perseverative errors when switching. Older children make few errors but respond slowly when switching. These age-related changes might reflect the maturation of executive functions (e.g., inhibition). However, they might also reflect…

A Secure Base from Which to Regulate: Attachment Security in Toddlerhood as a Predictor of Executive Functioning at School Entry
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bernier, Annie; Beauchamp, Miriam H.; Carlson, Stephanie M.; Lalonde, Gabrielle – Developmental Psychology, 2015
In light of emerging evidence suggesting that the affective quality of parent-child relationships may relate to individual differences in young children's executive functioning (EF) skills, the aim of this study was to investigate the prospective associations between attachment security in toddlerhood and children's EF skills in kindergarten.…

The Relationship between Media Multitasking and Executive Function in Early Adolescents
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Baumgartner, Susanne E.; Weeda, Wouter D.; van der Heijden, Lisa L.; Huizinga, Mariëtte – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2014
The increasing prevalence of media multitasking among adolescents is concerning because it may be negatively related to goal-directed behavior. This study investigated the relationship between media multitasking and executive function in 523 early adolescents (aged 11-15; 48% girls). The three central components of executive functions (i.e.,…
