Chen, Chih-Chia; Ryuh, Yonjoong; Mackey, Kathryn – Physical Educator, 2022
This study investigated the cognitive effect of a unified flag football program in young adults with intellectual disabilities (ID). Twelve participants practiced football drills with their typical peers for 50 min each session, twice a week for 15 weeks. Measures of three aspects of executive functions (e.g., verbal working memory, measured as…

Stucke, Nicole J.; Stoet, Gijsbert; Doebel, Sabine – Developmental Science, 2022
Young children spend a lot of time at home, yet there is little empirical research on how they spend that time and how it relates to developmental outcomes. Prior research suggests less-structured time--where children practice making choices and setting goals--may develop "self-directed" executive function in 6-year-olds. But…

Betts, Joseph Lee; Eggins, Elizabeth; Chandler-Mather, Ned; Shelton, Doug; Till, Haydn; Harnett, Paul; Dawe, Sharon – Campbell Systematic Reviews, 2022
Background: The consequences for children born with birth defects and developmental disabilities encompassed by foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) are profound, affecting all areas of social, behavioural and cognitive functioning. Given the strong evidence for a core deficit in executive functioning, underpinned by impaired self-regulation…

Sophie P. Barnes; Stephanie M. Jones; Rebecca Bailey – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Background: Decades of research demonstrating the critical role of executive function (EF) and other regulation-related skills on children's short- and long-term outcomes has generated interest in measuring and cultivating these critical skills in early childhood and elementary school children (e.g., Bull et al., 2008; Moffitt et al., 2011). Most…

Jiatian Zhang; Yi Ren; Yiyi Deng; Silin Huang – Applied Developmental Science, 2025
The negative effect of poverty on children's cognitive development has been proven, but few studies have examined the potential role of perceived poverty discrimination on poor children's cognitive development. This study investigated the effect of perceived discrimination on executive function, the mediating effect of self-esteem and the…

Amukune, Stephen; Józsa, Gabriella; Józsa, Krisztián – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
Cross-national comparisons represent an avenue for investigating milestones achieved by one region that can help improve standards in another country. This study compares the development of executive functioning in Hungarian and Kenyan preschoolers as they prepare for school readiness. The study's cross-sectional design entailed sampling…

Tops, Wim; Jansen, Dorien; Ceulemans, Eva; Petry, Katja; Hilton, Nanna Haug; Baeyens, Dieter – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2023
Students with dyslexia face particular challenges in higher education. Individuals with disabilities have a right to accommodations to guarantee equal opportunities and participation in education. The present study addresses (1) the frequency of functioning and participation problems of students with dyslexia in higher education, (2) the teaching…

DeBruin-Parecki, Andrea; Cartwright, Kelly B. – Reading Teacher, 2023
Although much is known about supporting preschoolers' alphabet knowledge, less is known about instructional moves that support preschoolers' narrative comprehension or how preschoolers' developing cognitive skills may support their narrative comprehension development. This school-university partnership project examined relations of preschoolers'…

Kook, Janna Fuccillo – Early Education and Development, 2023
Recent research has provided mixed evidence on the promise of classroom-based interventions for supporting young children's development of executive functions (EF). To advance intervention efforts, it is necessary to identify specific types of interactions that might support the development of EF in early childhood. Through a correlational design,…

Orr, Edna; Dorfberger, Shoshi – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
Forest learning has been encouraged globally in recent years as it regularly provides opportunities to interact with nature and one's own abilities. The contributions of forest and traditional kindergarten and home environment to children's ecological cognition and how ecological cognition relates to executive function (EF) is understudied.…

Hernández Finch, Maria E.; Trammell, Beth; Hulse, Asia R.; Finch, William H.; Wildrick, Aimee; Floyd, Elizabeth F.; Pittenger, Jenna; McIntosh, David E. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Understanding the relationship between executive functioning and its connection to working memory and adaptive functioning can inform planning and employment efforts. This study explored the relationship between memory and adaptive functioning with a sample of Autistic youths/young adults. Participant mean age was 21.3 (SD = 3.0). Of the 22…

Fitzpatrick, Anne; Halpenny, Ann Marie – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2023
This study investigated the concept, role and potential of intergenerational learning (IGL) as a pedagogical strategy in five Irish early childhood education (ECE) services, through exploring the perspectives on IGL of educators (5), children (70) and their parents (43). Informed by socio-cultural theories of learning and aligned to key principles…

Fung, Wing Kai; Hoa Chung, Kevin Kien; Lam, Chun Bun – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2023
Background: Evidence shows that children's household contexts of economic pressure and home chaos may better represent children's daily home experiences than family socioeconomic status. Still, limited research has examined the impacts of household contexts on child developmental outcomes and their underlying mechanisms. Objective: This study…

Allee, Karyn A.; Clark, M. H.; Roberts, Sherron Killingsworth; Hu, BiYing – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
The role of play in early elementary education (K-2) generates dichotomous opinions, and more research is required to support efficacious pedagogical decision-making. This pilot study explored the effects of pedagogical approaches on Title I kindergarten students' executive function (EF) to test the hypothesis that children, especially those from…

Oh, Jimin; Wolf, Sharon – Educational Psychology, 2023
Teacher burnout can directly shape students' learning environments and outcomes, as burnt-out teachers may provide less emotional support and less positive behaviour management to students. Yet studies of the effects of burnout on student outcomes -- particularly non-academic outcomes -- are scarce, even more so in low-income countries. This study…
