Niebaum, Jesse C.; Munakata, Yuko – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Performance on lab assessments of executive functions predicts academic achievement and other positive life outcomes. A primary goal of research on executive functions has been to design interventions that improve outcomes like academic achievement by improving executive functions. These interventions typically involve extensive practice on…

Jiao, Xiaoyan; Zhang, Anqi; Bu, Xiaomei – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
Metacognition plays an important role in the development of young children. Recent studies have found that metacognition and executive function are independent but closely related. In this study, 55 children aged 4-5 years were selected as subjects, and a short-term longitudinal design was used to analyze the relationships among metacognition,…

Grosprêtre, Sidney; Marcel-Millet, Philémon; Eon, Pauline; Wollesen, Bettina – Cognitive Science, 2023
Virtual reality (VR) is the computer simulation of a three-dimensional environment that a person can interact with using special electronic equipment, such as a headset with an integrated display. Often coupled with VR, exergames are video games that involve physical exercise. Little is known regarding the chronic effects of exergaming through VR…

Foldager, Malene; Vestergaard, Martin; Lassen, Jonathan; Petersen, Lea S.; Oranje, Bob; Aggernaes, Bodil; Simonsen, Erik – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
It is unclear whether children with autism spectrum disorders have atypical semantic fluency and lower memory for the semantics of words. Therefore, we examined semantic typicality, fluency and recall for the categories of fruits and animals in 60 children with autism aged 7-15 years (boys: 48/girls: 12) compared to 60 typically developing…

Solís-Campos, Adrián; Aldemir, Hülya; Rodríguez-Ortiz, Isabel R.; Saldaña, David – Deafness & Education International, 2023
Executive functions have both direct and indirect effects on reading comprehension. Previous studies have shown that people with hearing loss (HL) perform poorly on executive functions and reading comprehension tasks. This scoping review explored the current state of the literature relating executive function and reading comprehension in children…

Chen Li; Emma R. Hart; Robert J. Duncan; Tyler W. Watts – Developmental Science, 2023
During childhood, the ability to limit problem behaviors (i.e., externalizing) and the capacity for cognitive regulation (i.e., executive function) are often understood to develop in tandem, and together constitute two major components of self-regulation research. The current study examines bi-directional relations between behavioral problems and…

Kishimoto, Tomoko; Ji, Xiaoning; Ding, Xinfang – School Mental Health, 2023
Previous studies that examined the associations among bullying experiences, psychological disturbances, and executive functions showed mixed results. They focused on certain subcomponents of the three sets of variables and did not reflect the comprehensive relationship. The present study explored these associations through regularized generalized…

Alyssa Pualani Lawson – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Learning in a multimedia environment puts many demands on a learner's limited working memory, but this can become even more demanding as the level of distraction increases in a lesson. What has not been investigated much in previous literature is whether higher levels of distraction in lessons are more harmful to some learners than others. This…

Schultz, Jessica E. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Executive functions are higher order mental processes individuals use during academic tasks (Diamond, 2013). Few studies examined executive functions in braille reading. Additionally, most studies located by the primary researcher were studies analyzing group differences between individuals with visual impairments and those who are sighted and…

Gutierrez-Colina, Ana M.; Davis, Molly; Eaton, Cyd K.; LaMotte, Julia; Cushman, Grace; Quast, Lauren; Blount, Ronald L.; Suveg, Cynthia – Journal of American College Health, 2022
Objective: To examine the role of executive functioning (EF) in health self-management and the transition to adult health care among college students. Participants: A total of 378 undergraduate students from a public university participated in the study. Methods: Participants reported on EF, health self-management skills, and their readiness to…

Gandotra, Aditi; Csaba, Sára; Sattar, Yasar; Cserényi, Vanda; Bizonics, Róbert; Cserjesi, Renata; Kotyuk, Eszter – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
The relationship between motor skills and executive functions (EFs) is gaining prominence in the field of developmental psychology. However, evidence of the motor skills--EFs link in children with typical development is somewhat inconsistent and there has been no adequate attempt to evaluate it systematically across studies. In view of this, the…

This study aimed to characterize the relationship between insistence on sameness (IS), executive functioning (EF) and anxiety among individuals with "PTEN" mutations and individuals with macrocephalic ASD. The sample included 38 individuals with "PTEN" mutation and ASD diagnosis ("PTEN"-ASD; M[subscript age] =…

Maat, Donna A.; Schuurmans, Isabel K.; Jongerling, Joran; Metcalf, Stephen A.; Lucassen, Nicole; Franken, Ingmar H. A.; Prinzie, Peter; Jansen, Pauline W. – Child Development, 2022
This preregistered study examined whether child temperament and executive functions moderated the longitudinal association between early life stress (ELS) and behavior problems. In a Dutch population-based cohort (n = 2803), parents reported on multiple stressors (age 0-6 years), child temperament (age 5), and executive functions (age 4), and…

Stabile, Mackenzie; Eigsti, Inge-Marie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Typical speakers tend to adopt words used by their conversational partners. This "lexical alignment" enhances communication by reducing ambiguity and promoting a shared understanding of the topic under discussion. Lexical alignment has been little studied to date in autism spectrum disorder (ASD); furthermore, it has been…

Tomaszewski, Brianne; Klinger, Laura G.; Pugliese, Cara E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Self-determination refers to an individual's capacity and opportunities to act as a causal agent in their own lives to make choices, decisions, and set goals. The current study examined self- and parent-reports of the AIR Self-Determination Scale in transition-aged autistic youth (Based on stakeholder preferences, we use identity-first(autistic)…
