Cumming, Michelle M.; Criado, Cristina; Park, Jeehyun; Arango, Alexandra; Rodriguez, Maria L.; Ali, Michael – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2023
For students with significant behavior problems, difficulties with executive function (EF) and associated self-regulation are not uncommon, and middle school is a crucial period when students are at greater risk for escalating behaviors that have long-term impacts (e.g., school dropout, incarceration; Kauffman & Landrum, 2018). Therefore, in…

Veen, Esther J.; Pijpker, Roald; Hassink, Jan – Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2023
When children drop out of school, either temporarily or permanently, this poses a significant problem for both children and society. In the Netherlands, care farms offering care-education programs for school dropouts are emerging. While there is evidence for their effectiveness, models explaining how such outdoor interventions may facilitate…

Leib, Elena R.; Starr, Ariel; Younger, Jessica Wise; Bunge, Silvia A.; Uncapher, Melina R.; Rosenberg-Lee, Miriam – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The present study tests two predictions stemming from the hypothesis that a source of difficulty with rational numbers is interference from whole number magnitude knowledge. First, inhibitory control should be an independent predictor of fraction understanding, even after controlling for working memory. Second, if the source of interference is…

Zupan, Zorana; Blagrove, Elisabeth L.; Watson, Derrick G. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
By approximately 6 years of age, children can use time-based visual selection to ignore stationary stimuli, already in the visual field and prioritize the selection of newly arriving stimuli. This ability can be studied using preview search, a version of the visual search paradigm with an added temporal component, in which one set of distractors…

Escobar, José-Pablo; Rosas Díaz, Ricardo – Reading Psychology, 2023
This research aims to evaluate the predicting role of executive functions, specially inhibition and flexibility, in reading comprehension. Participants were evaluated with inhibition and flexibility measures in first- grade, and later in third- grade their reading comprehension, oral and silent reading fluency, as well as their decoding skills…

Tyler W. Watts; Chen Li; Xinyu S. Pan; Jill Gandhi; Dana C. McCoy; C. Cybele Raver – Grantee Submission, 2023
The current paper reports long-term impacts of the Chicago School Readiness Project (CSRP) on measures of achievement, cognitive functioning, and behavioral regulation taken toward the end of students' high school careers. The CSRP was a self-regulation-focused early childhood intervention implemented in Head Start centers serving high-poverty…

Zhao, Gai; Zhang, Haibo; Hu, Mingming; Wang, Daoyang; Wang, Yanpei; Pan, Zhiying; Wang, Yao; Tao, Sha – Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study examined the longitudinal associations of various executive function components with subsequent psychiatric problems in Chinese school-age children. Data from 1,639 children (44.36% girls) ages 6-13 years were drawn from the Children School Functions and Brain Development project. Executive function components were assessed by the…

Young-Suk Grace Kim – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: A large body of literature showed that word reading and listening comprehension-two proximal predictors of reading comprehension according to the simple view of reading -- are related. Grounded on the direct and indirect effects model of reading, we examined the extent to which the relation is explained by domain-general cognitions or…

The goal of this study was to evaluate immediate and delayed effects of a caregiver-implemented picture book intervention to support children's mathematical language and numeracy skills. Eighty-four 3- to 5-year-olds (M[subscript age] = 4.14) were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 40) or active control (n = 44) conditions. Participants in the…

Wilson, Robin; Sulak, Tracey; Bagby, Janet – RMLE Online: Research in Middle Level Education, 2021
The current research investigated the impact of Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) on middle level students' executive function skills. AVID uses inquiry-based and student-centered instruction to close the opportunity gap in college attendance and degree attainment for underrepresented demographic groups. With AVID, teachers inspire…

Dixson, Dante D.; Scalcucci, Stefanie Gill – Psychology in the Schools, 2021
In a sample of 216 high school students, we explored the relationship between hope and school belonging to executive functioning (EF). This examination was carried out to better understand how these, and potentially other psychosocial factors, relate to the neurocognitive decision-making process of adolescent students. This study had several…

Esbensen, Anna J.; Hoffman, Emily K.; Shaffer, Rebecca C.; Patel, Lina R.; Jacola, Lisa M. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
The current study evaluates the concurrent relationship between parent ratings of executive functioning and maladaptive behavior among children and adolescents with Down syndrome and then repeats this evaluation using teacher reports. Parents and teachers of 63 school-age children with Down syndrome rated the child's executive functioning…
