Directly Assessed and Adult-Reported Executive Functions: Associations with Academic Skills in Ghana
Ishita Ahmed; Lily Steyer; Noelle M Suntheimer; Sharon Wolf; Jelena Obradovic – Grantee Submission, 2022
Extant work on the importance of children's executive function (EF) for academic skills typically employs either direct assessments of EF skills or adult reports of children's EF behaviors. Each approach has advantages, yet few studies have examined how different EF measurement approaches distinctly relate to child outcomes. We examined how direct…

How often do you tell white lies? When the "New York Times" ran an article linking children's lying with their cognitive abilities (Stone, 2018), the authors decided to examine this phenomenon through the lens of Montessori philosophy. Consequently, the authors delved into the related research on lying, executive function, and prosocial…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with deficient comprehension of figurative language and, specifically, idioms. Theories ascribe this to deficits in specific abilities (e.g., Theory of Mind [ToM]; executive functions [EF]; general language skills), but no comprehensive theory has resulted. This study investigated the differential…

It remains unclear whether the association between EF and math operates through a latent EF construct or specific EF…
