Yiwei Zhao; Guowei Wu; Xiangzhi Meng; George K. Georgiou; Xiujie Yang – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
Using behavioral network analysis, the present study aimed to examine the relation between various cognitive-linguistic skills and Chinese character reading in children from preschool to primary school. A cohort of 172 Chinese children (41.3% female; M[subscript age] = 5.74 ± 0.32 years) were followed from the end of kindergarten (T1) to first…

Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine potential mediators of the relationship between developmental language disorder (DLD) status and executive function performance. Method: Participants included preschoolers, of whom 80 met the diagnostic criteria for DLD and 103 were categorized as having typical language abilities. Participants'…

Nia R. Barbee; Anne L. Dunlop; Elizabeth Corwin; Patricia A. Brennan – Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, 2025
The proposed study sought to investigate whether maternal experiences of racial discrimination and gendered racial stress are associated with offspring executive functioning. Total 266 Black mother-child pairs in the United States were assessed from pregnancy through child age of 4 years. We hypothesized that children whose mothers reported higher…

Smith; Tracy Vaillancourt; Peter Szatmari; Mayada Elsabbagh; Connor M. Kerns – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Anxiety has been associated with social communication and interaction differences among autistic children. We sought to clarify the direction of these associations longitudinally, and test executive function as a moderator. Participants were autistic children (N = 157; 15% female, 85% male) engaged in a longitudinal study. Analyses focused on two…

Zaccoletti, Sonia; Raccanello, Daniela; Burro, Roberto; Mason, Lucia – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: An interplay of emotional and cognitive aspects underlies academic performance. We focused on the contribution of such interplay to text comprehension. Aims: We investigated the effect of worry on comprehension and the role of two potential moderators of this effect: physiological self-regulation as resting heart rate variability (HRV)…

Kälin, Sonja; Roebers, Claudia M.; Oeri, Niamh – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: The goal of this longitudinal study was to examine persistence development during the transition to school. The sample consisted of N = 88 children from Caucasian, middle-class families (51% female). Participants were recruited through advertisement in public kindergartens and were tested twice, in kindergarten (mean…

Sheppard, Elizabeth; van Loon, Editha; Ropar, Danielle – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
A survey asked autistic and non-autistic people about the driving difficulties they experience and their autistic traits. Principle components analysis was used to identify how reported difficulties clustered together in each group, and regression was used to determine which subscales of the Autism Spectrum Quotient predict these factors. For…

Lung, Stephanie Lock Man; Bertone, Armando – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Cognitive flexibility (CF) is the ability to shift between concepts or rules. Difficulty with CF is associated with autism (i.e., ASD) as it contributes to repetitive behaviours. However, little is known about CF skills of autistic adolescents with low intelligence. This study uses the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) to assess the CF of 36…

Masek, Lillian R.; Weiss, Staci Meredith; McMillan, Brianna T. M.; Paterson, Sarah J.; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Developmental Science, 2023
High-quality communicative interactions between caregivers and children provide a foundation for children's social and cognitive skills. Although most studies examining these types of interactions focus on child language outcomes, this paper takes another tack. It examines whether communicative, dyadic interactions might also relate to child…

Fuke, Taissa S. S.; Kamber, Ege; Alunni, Melissa; Mahy, Caitlin E. V. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Little is known about the development of procrastination, the tendency to postpone undesirable but necessary tasks, during early childhood. Only one study has measured procrastination behavior in preschool children using a single behavioral task (Sutter et al., 2018). Thus, the present study investigated the emergence and development of everyday…

Chen, Jin; Kwok, Sze Chai; Song, Yongning – Developmental Science, 2023
The relationship between executive function and second-language ability remains contentious in bilingual children; thus, the current study focused on this issue. In total, 371 Uyghur-Chinese bilingual children ranging from 3 to 6 years old were assessed by a battery of tasks measuring language ability (expressive vocabulary tests, receptive…

Holochwost, Steven J.; Winebrake, Deaven; Brown, Eleanor D.; Happaney, Keith R.; Wagner, Nicholas J.; Mills-Koonce, W. Roger – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
The predictive validity of performance on cognitive-behavioral measures of executive function (EF) suggests that these measures index children's underlying capacity for self-regulation. In this paper, we apply ecological systems theory to critically evaluate this assertion. We argue that as typically administered, standard measures of EF do not…

Gaskins, Suzanne; Alcalá, Lucía – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Children's development of executive function is a good candidate for studying cultural differences because it is a necessary capacity for becoming competent participants in cultural activities, and yet it is also likely to be shaped by culturally organized everyday experiences, with potential consequences for children's development and learning.…

McGrath, Melissa A.; Fletcher, Kathryn L.; Bielski, Lynn M. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Children with normal hearing who present with listening difficulties (LiD) are frequently referred for assessment of auditory processing disorder (APD). Complicating diagnosis is the similarities of APD to other neurodevelopmental disorders, especially attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Due to well-documented deficits in executive…

Jenkins, Lyndsay N.; Tennant, Jaclyn – Contemporary School Psychology, 2023
The purpose of the current study was to investigate differences in social-emotional skills between active and passive bystanders. Data were collected on a sample of 352 middle school students using self-report of bullying role involvement and social skills and teacher reports of social/emotional competence and executive functioning skills. Using…
