This study explores children's early academic and self-regulatory skills as potential pathways through which a preschool enrichment program--the Chicago School Readiness Project (CSRP)--may contribute to low-income children's long-term outcomes (N = 466; M[subscript age] at baseline = 4.10 years). We find that CSRP's impact on high school grades…

The present study examined whether temporal processing (TP) is associated with reading of a non-alphabetic script, that is, Chinese.
