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…

Butterfuss, Reese; Kendeou, Panayiota; McMaster, Kristen L.; Orcutt, Elly; Bulut, Okan – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
We examined the extent to which the timing of inferential questioning influenced kindergartners' inferencing performance in a non-reading context, while also taking into account individual differences in language comprehension and executive function. Students completed the eight-week Early Language Comprehension Individualized Instruction (ELCII)…

Malkin, Louise; Abbot-Smith, Kirsten – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Autistic children have difficulties in adapting their language for particular listeners and contexts. We asked whether these difficulties are more prominent when children are required to be cognitively flexible, when changing how they have previously referred to a particular object. We compared autistic (N = 30) with neuro-typical 5- to…

Jamsek, Izabela A.; Holt, Rachael Frush; Kronenberger, William G.; Pisonic, David B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of parental sensitivity in language and neurocognitive outcomes in children who are deaf and/or hard of hearing (DHH). Method: Sixty-two parent-child dyads of children with normal hearing (NH) and 64 of children who are DHH (3-8 years) completed parent and child measures of inhibitory…

Davenport, Carrie A.; Holt, Rachael Frush – Volta Review, 2019
This case study analyzes and describes the language, executive function, and psychosocial outcomes of two 6-year-old children with cochlear implants in the context of their respective family environments. Despite having nearly identical audiological histories, their language abilities and social skills are markedly different from one another,…

Blank, Andrew; Holt, Rachael Frush; Pisoni, David B.; Kronenberger, William G. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Using a new measure of family-level executive functioning (EF; the Family Characteristics Scale [FCS]), we investigated associations between family-level EF, spoken language, and neurocognitive skills in children with hearing loss (HL), compared to children with normal hearing. Method: Parents of children with HL (n = 61) or children with…

Nguyen, Tin Q.; Del Tufo, Stephanie N.; Cutting, Laurie E. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2020
Reading fluency undoubtedly underlies reading competence; yet, the role of executive functions (EFs) is less well understood. Here, we investigated the relation between children's reading fluency and EF. Children's (n = 82) reading and language performance was determined by standardized assessments and EF by parental questionnaire. Results…

Blom, Elma; Boerma, Tessel – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Many children with developmental language disorder (DLD) have weaknesses in executive functioning (EF), specifically in tasks testing interference control and working memory. It is unknown how EF develops in children with DLD, if EF abilities are related to DLD severity and persistence, and if EF weaknesses expand to selective attention.…

Lonigan, Christopher J.; Allan, Darcey M.; Phillips, Beth M. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
There is strong evidence that self-regulatory processes are linked to early academic skills, both concurrently and longitudinally. The majority of extant longitudinal studies, however, have been conducted using autoregressive techniques that may not accurately model change across time. The purpose of this study was to examine the unique…
