Schirmbeck, Katharina; Rao, Nirmala; Maehler, Claudia – Infant and Child Development, 2020
A systematic review was conducted to gain a more nuanced understanding of similarities and distinctions across countries in the development of executive functions (EF). The review includes 26 studies, with child and adolescent participants, that were published between 2006 and 2018. Both similarities and differences within developmental patterns…

Christina Hubertina Helena Maria Heemskerk; Claudia M. Roebers – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Young children tend to rely on reactive cognitive control (e.g. strongly slow down after an error), even when task accuracy would benefit from proactive cognitive control (taking a slower task approach up front). We investigated if giving young primary school children opportunities to repeatedly experience tasks where success rates depend on…

Lucette Lanyon; Ciara Shiggins; Caroline Baker; Serena Alves Stein; Sophie O'Keefe; Emma J. Schneider; Erin Godecke; Kathryn Radford; Natasha A. Lannin – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: People with communication disability after stroke experience low rates of return to vocational roles. Vocational rehabilitation is recommended; however, there are no clear guidelines informing vocational rehabilitation for people with communication disability. Understanding the needs and experiences of this population is critical to…

This study aimed to explore whether early developmental abilities are related to future executive function (EF) in children with motor delays. Fourteen children with motor delays (Mean age = 10.76, SD = 2.55) were included from a larger study. Object interaction and developmental outcomes (Bayley-III) were evaluated at baseline and 3, 6, and 12…

Organization, time management, and planning (OTMP) skills are behavioral manifestations of executive functioning linked to academic outcomes. Interventions to improve OTMP skills have shown favorable outcomes. The Children's Organizational Skills Scale parent and teacher forms (COSS-P, COSS-T) are widely used for assessing OTMP skills, but there…

Steven D. Luthultz – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant disruption to public school education particularly regarding the mode of instruction as it shifted from face-to-face to virtual. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of this rapid and major change on the socialization, academic achievement, and application of executive function skills of…

Peyton Nicole Perez – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The problem was the decline in executive functioning skills of Grade 5 students in a consolidated independent school district in suburban Austin, Texas since the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this qualitative critical instance case study was to better understand the perceptions of teachers regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the executive…

Carrie S. Cutler; Jennifer J. Chen; Aidong Linda Zhang – Dimensions of Early Childhood, 2024
Conflicts between children, a universal phenomenon across cultures, present unique opportunities for developing executive function (EF) skills, such as problem solving and exercising self-regulation. EF, primarily associated with a set of cognitive skills or processes that includes planning, organizing, and regulating behavior, plays an integral…

Spencer, Mercedes; Cutting, Laurie E. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
In the current investigation, we used structural equation mediation modeling to examine the relations between executive function (indexed by measures of working memory, shifting, and inhibition), decoding ability, and reading comprehension in a sample of 298 children aged 6 to 8 years (132 boys and 166 girls). Results indicated that executive…

Nouwens, Suzan; Groen, Margriet A.; Kleemans, Tijs; Verhoeven, Ludo – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Background: Executive functions have been proposed to account for individual variation in reading comprehension beyond the contributions of decoding skills and language skills. However, insight into the direct and indirect effects of multiple executive functions on fifth-grade reading comprehension, while accounting for decoding and language…

Demir, Bora – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2021
Working Memory (WM) is an essential concept of cognitive science since many aspects of human learning depend on it. Primarily proposed by Baddeley and Hitch (1974) and developed by Baddeley (1986), the concept of WM comprises the number of subsystems involved during the process and the considerable emphasis on its key role in cognitive tasks such…

Yan, Zhiqiang; Pei, Meng; Su, Yanjie – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Empathy for pain in daily life is more complex than in lab settings and involved higher cognitive abilities. In order to investigate the role of executive function in preschoolers' empathy for pain, we investigated the role of three subcomponents of executive function (inhibitory control, working memory and cognitive flexibility) in children's…

Youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) without intellectual disability frequently experience academic problems, in part due to executive functioning (EF) deficits. There are currently no evidence-based interventions targeting academic EF skills (e.g., organization, prioritization, etc.) for middle school youth with ASD. The need is critical…

Rodrigues, Michelle; Sokolovic, Nina; Madigan, Sheri; Luo, Yiqi; Silva, Victoria; Misra, Shruti; Jenkins, Jennifer – Child Development, 2021
In a series of meta-analyses, paternal sensitivity was associated with children's (age range: 7 months-9 years) overall cognitive functioning (N = 3,193; k = 23; r = 0.19), including language skills (k = 9; r = 0.21), cognitive ability (k = 9; r = 0.18), and executive function (k = 8; r = 0.19). Paternal sensitivity was not associated with…
