Frick, Aurélien; Chevalier, Nicolas – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Cognitive control (also referred to as executive functions) corresponds to a set of cognitive processes that support the goal-directed regulation of thoughts and actions. It plays a major role in complex activities and predicts later academic achievement. Importantly, while growing up, children are progressively transitioning from engaging…

Cheung, Sum Kwing; Chan, Winnie Wai Lan; Fong, Ricci Wai-tsz – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
Parents' high academic expectations have often been found to benefit children's academic outcomes. Nonetheless, little is known whether different ways of expressing the high expectations exert similar influences on early numeracy development. This study therefore investigated the relations of two forms of parents' perfectionistic…

Muir, Rosalyn A.; Howard, Steven J.; Kervin, Lisa – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
This systematic literature review sought to reconcile the evidence of efficacy for interventions and approaches to enhancing self-regulation and/or executive function in preschool settings. Following PRISMA methodology, a comprehensive search of 20 years of intervention research identified 85 studies that met inclusion criteria. Interventions were…

Pietto, Marcos Luis; Giovannetti, Federico; Segretin, Maria S.; Kamienkowski, Juan E.; Lipina, Sebastián J. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Cognitive interventions that involve executive functions (EF)-demanding activities are effective in changing task-related brain activity in children from homes with low socioeconomic status (SES). However, less is known about the efficiency of EF-based interventions in modifying segregation and integration properties of the functional neural…

Liao, Xian; Cai, Mingjia; Hung, Cathy On-Ying – Reading Research Quarterly, 2023
Robust relation has been revealed previously between the components of executive function (EF) and reading comprehension performance. However, the specific role of EF in the reading processes remains relatively underexplored. Within the framework of the lexical quality hypothesis (LQH), this study examined the contribution of EF to the lexical…

Ovando-Tellez, Marcela; Kenett, Yoed N.; Benedek, Mathias; Bernard, Matthieu; Belo, Joan; Beranger, Benoit; Bieth, Theophile; Volle, Emmanuelle – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Associative thinking plays a major role in creativity, as it involves the ability to link distant concepts. Yet, the neural mechanisms allowing to combine distant associates in creative thinking tasks remain poorly understood. We investigated the whole-brain functional connectivity patterns related to combining remote associations for creative…

Gómez-Pérez, M. Mar; Calero, M. Dolores – High Ability Studies, 2023
Interpersonal Skills (ISs) and Executive Functions (EFs) are two groups of skills which are extremely relevant for children's cognitive, social and psychological development. As well as being interrelated, both can be modulated by other variables such as intelligence or sex. Many studies have tried to establish the relationship between them, but…

Tanis, Kelsey R.; Erb, Jacquelyn – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2023
Awareness of executive functioning and its relevance to both occupational participation and special education is expanding. This study describes how school-based occupational therapists address executive functioning in practice and determined if this differs from traditional areas. Fourteen occupational therapists from four districts in Michigan…

Mousavi, Elahe; Akbarfahimi, Nazila; Moein, Sahel; Vahedi, Mohsen – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2023
The school function of children with cerebral palsy (CP) are affected by their disability. Cognitive impairments, especially in executive function (EF), can be a reason for these children's failure in school function. This study investigated the association between EF and school function (school participation, school physical activity performance)…

Ding, Xiao Pan; Tay, Cleo; Goh, Shu Juan; Hong, Ryan Y. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2023
Lying is a prevalent and normative behavior in young children. Conceptually, it is strongly linked with children's theory-of-mind development. However, empirical studies show that the link between children's lying and theory-of-mind is heterogeneous. This study examined whether parental control and parental warmth moderate the link between…

Wade, Mark; McLaughlin, Katie A.; Buzzell, George A.; Fox, Nathan A.; Zeanah, Charles H.; Nelson, Charles A. – Child Development, 2023
We examined whether family care following early-life deprivation buffered the association between stressful life events (SLEs) and executive functioning (EF) in adolescence. In early childhood, 136 institutionally reared children were randomly assigned to foster care or care-as-usual; 72 never-institutionalized children served as a comparison…

Cartwright, Kelly B. – Guilford Press, 2023
This pioneering book is now in a revised and expanded second edition featuring the latest neuroscientific knowledge and instructional strategies. Kelly B. Cartwright provides a teacher-friendly explanation of executive skills--such as planning, organization, cognitive flexibility, and impulse control--and their role in reading comprehension.…

Nguyen, Tin Q. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Learning to read is an important milestone in children's development. Factors in the home environment is been linked to the behavioral and neural correlates of reading, but further work is needed to unpack the underlying mechanisms. The home literacy environment (HLE) plays a role in children's reading and language development, while parental…

Sabol, Terri J.; McCoy, Dana Charles; Gonzalez, Kathryn; Hanno, Emily; Busby, Andrea; Wei, Wendy; Downer, Jason – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
The current study examined the contexts in which a preschool teacher professional development intervention was more versus less effective in improving student outcomes. We used a fixed intercept, random coefficient (FIRC) modeling approach to explore the contextual characteristics inside and outside school walls that predicted differential…

Adrià Rofes; Magdalena Beran; Roel Jonkers; Mirjam I. Geerlings; Jet M. J. Vonk – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: In this study, we aim to understand whether and how performance in animal fluency (i.e., total correct word count) relates to linguistic levels and/or executive functions by looking at sequence information and item-level metrics (i.e., clusters, switches, and word properties). Method: Seven hundred thirty-one Dutch-speaking individuals…
