Chung, Kevin Kien Hoa; Li, Xiaomin; Lam, Chun Bun; Fung, Wing Kai; Liu, Catrina – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
This study examined the co-occurrence of word reading difficulty in Chinese (L1) and English as a second language (L2) and tested language and executive functioning (EF) skills as correlates. Thirty-nine poor readers in Chinese (PC), 39 poor readers in English (PE), and 26 poor readers of both languages (PB) were compared to 39 average readers who…

Akremi, Haifa; Hamel, Raphaël; Dumas, Anne; Camden, Chantal; Corriveau, Hélène; Lepage, Jean-Francois – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Evidence-based therapeutic options for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are scarce. This work explored the effects of cerebellar anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) on three 48 h-apart motor sequence learning and upper limb coordination sessions in children with DCD. The results revealed that, as compared…

Bose, Arpita; Patra, Abhijeet; Antoniou, Georgia Eleftheria; Stickland, Rachael C.; Belke, Eva – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Verbal fluency tasks are routinely used in clinical assessment and research studies of aphasia. People with aphasia produce fewer items in verbal fluency tasks. It remains unclear if their output is limited solely by their lexical difficulties and/or has a basis in their executive control abilities. Recent research has illustrated that…

Guedes, Carolina; Cadima, Joana – Developmental Psychology, 2022
The interplay between self-regulation related skills and language is well recognized in dynamic theories, but few empirical studies have tested it, especially in toddlers. The current study examines the bidirectional links between self-regulation related skills and expressive vocabulary in a longitudinal study during toddlerhood. Participants were…

Panesi, Sabrina; Bandettini, Alessia; Traverso, Laura; Morra, Sergio – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
This study aims at investigating the relationship between working memory updating and working memory capacity in preschool children. A sample of 176 preschoolers (36-74 months) was administered a working memory updating task (Magic House) along with three working memory capacity tests that specifically measure their core attentional component (M…

Roitsch, Jane; Horn, Annemarie L.; Morin, Lisa – International Journal of the Whole Child, 2022
This study examines the results of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF2) (Gioia et al., 2015) reported by parents of children with Specific Learning Disability (LD) and/or other comorbid disabilities. LD is most notably associated with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Alloway & Stein, 2014;…

Romeo, Rachel R.; Flournoy, John C.; McLaughlin, Katie A.; Lengua, Liliana J. – Developmental Science, 2022
Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is related to disparities in the development of both language and executive functioning (EF) skills. Emerging evidence suggests that language development may precede and provide necessary scaffolding for EF development in early childhood. The present preregistered study investigates how these skills co-develop…

Jones, Stephanie M., Ed.; Lesaux, Nonie K., Ed.; Barnes, Sophie P., Ed. – Guilford Press, 2022
Children's social-emotional and self-regulation skills are critical for success in school and, ultimately, in the workplace. How can educators determine the most effective approaches for measuring students' interpersonal competencies? And how can they use the data to improve their own practice? Relevant for school leaders, educators, researchers,…

Gema P. Sáez-Suanes; María Álvarez-Couto – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
In order to update the status of the research on quality of life (QoL) of adults with ASD, a systematic review was carried out following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses' (PRISMA) protocol. Eleven articles were selected from different databases. Results show lower levels of QoL in people with ASD than in the…

Courtney Pollack; Eric D. Wilkey; Gavin R. Price – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
The ability to efficiently compare number symbols, such as digits, is associated with mathematics competence across the lifespan. Performance on symbolic number comparison tasks differ across age groups; young students who are developing fluency with digits improve on symbolic number comparison, and performance is better in adults than children.…

Sohyun An Kim – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Working memory functions as an underlying force for school readiness, yet many autistic children have difficulties with it. Similarly, autistic children tend to start kindergarten with less school readiness compared with their peers. In addition, children from lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds face additional barriers in working memory…

Alvin Vista; Helyn Kim – Educational and Developmental Psychologist, 2025
Objective: Measurement tools for children's foundational skills provide important insights towards the developmental mechanisms of these domains. This study examines the structure of sensorimotor, visuospatial processing (VP), executive function (EF) skills and their interrelationship. The NEPSY is a widely-used neuropsychological instrument, but…

Ahmet Murat Uzun; Erhan Ünal; Cahit Erdem – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
The widespread adoption of mobile technologies has exacerbated their utilization in educational environments. Multitasking in the classroom is a common practice and deserves further investigation to understand its antecedents. Yet, rare studies have addressed this issue based on the theory of planned behavior framework. To this end, the current…
