Thomas, Leiah J. G.; Lee, Monica G.; Todd, Cate Smith; Lynch, Kathleen; Loeb, Susanna; McConnell, Scott; Carlis, Lydia – Journal of Early Intervention, 2022
Many preschool agencies nationwide continue to experience closures and/or conversions to virtual or hybrid instruction due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite the importance of understanding young children's learning and development during the COVID emergency, limited knowledge exists on adaptable practices for…

Speirs Neumeister, Kristie; Hernández Finch, Maria E.; Finch, W. Holmes; Spoon, Robyn; Burney, Virginia; Smith, Veronica – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2022
This study explored the role that select components of executive functioning play in predicting reading outcomes in gifted students both directly and indirectly through a broader set of preliteracy skills. A comparison of mediation models indicated the relationships between working memory and inhibition to reading outcomes were fully, rather than…

Hall, LaToya; Campbell, Rebecca; Gross, Evan; Lichtenberg, Peter A. – Journal of Financial Counseling and Planning, 2022
The financial exploitation (FE) of older adults affects not only victims' finances, but also their health. This preliminary study investigated the impacts of a financial coaching program on the financial, neurocognitive, physical, and emotional health of older adult victims of FE. Twenty older adults residing in a large urban area who had…

Bardikoff, Nicole; Sabbagh, Mark A. – Child Development, 2021
An important aspect of executive functioning is the ability to flexibly switch between behavioral rules. This study explored how considering the multidimensionality of objects affects behavioral rule switching in 3-year-old children. In Study 1 (N = 40), children who participated in a brief game separating and aggregating an object's dimensions…

Hanno, Emily C.; McCoy, Dana C.; Sabol, Terri J.; Gonzalez, Kathryn E. – Child Development, 2021
Although professional development is widely used to improve the impacts of early childhood education, little is known about the conditions under which such interventions promote child outcomes. This study applies newly developed methods for quantifying intervention impact heterogeneity to understand whether educators' collective workplace stress…

Tamm, Leanne; Loren, Richard E. A.; Peugh, James; Ciesielski, Heather A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
This study investigated the association of a performance-based measure of executive functioning (EF) with academic, social, and behavioral performance ratings in a convenience sample of 153 children aged 5 to 12 (78% male, 83% Caucasian) diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Multivariate regression showed that above and…

Bock, Allison M.; Gallaway, Kristin C.; Hund, Alycia M. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2015
The purpose of this study was to specify the development of and links between executive functioning and theory of mind during middle childhood. One hundred four 7- to 12-year-old children completed a battery of age-appropriate tasks measuring working memory, inhibition, flexibility, theory of mind, and vocabulary. As expected, spatial working…

Jõgi, Anna-Liisa; Kikas, Eve – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Background: Primary school math skills form a basis for academic success down the road. Different math skills have different antecedents and there is a reason to believe that more complex math tasks require better self-regulation. Aims: The study aimed to investigate longitudinal interrelations of calculation and problem-solving skills, and…

Cumming, Michelle M.; Bettini, Elizabeth; Pham, Andy V.; Park, Jeeyun – Review of Educational Research, 2020
Executive functioning (EF) is key to students' school and lifelong success and reflects both genetic predisposition and sensitivity to negative and positive experiences. Yet there is less available literature investigating the relationship between typical experiences within school environments and student EF development. This is unfortunate, as…

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…

Jones, Robin M.; Walden, Tedra A.; Conture, Edward G.; Erdemir, Aysu; Lambert, Warren E.; Porges, Stephen W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: This study sought to determine whether respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and executive functions are associated with stuttered speech disfluencies of young children who do (CWS) and do not stutter (CWNS). Method: Thirty-six young CWS and 36 CWNS were exposed to neutral, negative, and positive emotion-inducing video clips, followed by…

Duncan, Amie; Tamm, Leanne; Birnschein, Allison M.; Becker, Stephen P. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder frequently experience social communication difficulties, executive functioning deficits, and anxiety and depressive symptoms, which are similar to the symptoms and correlates of sluggish cognitive tempo. Although sluggish cognitive tempo is related to, but distinct from, the inattentive and…

Carter Leno, Virginia; Vitoratou, Silia; Kent, Rachel; Charman, Tony; Chandler, Susie; Jones, Catherine RG; Happé, Francesca; Baird, Gillian; Pickles, Andrew; Simonoff, Emily – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Many young people with autism spectrum disorder display 'challenging behaviours', characterised by externalising behaviour and self-injurious behaviours. These behaviours can have a negative impact on a young person's well-being, family environment and educational achievement. However, the development of effective interventions requires greater…

Hickey, Andrea J.; Flynn, Robert J. – Oxford Review of Education, 2019
We evaluated the effects of TutorBright tutoring on the reading and mathematics skills of children in family foster care, examined several potential moderators of the impact of tutoring, and explored possible 'spill-over' effects on the children's executive functioning and behavioural difficulties and on their caregivers' level of involvement in…

Taylor, Christa L.; Zaghi, Arash E. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2021
The current study addresses gaps in our understanding of the relationship between creative cognition, intelligence (IQ), and executive functioning (EF). Undergraduate students completed an IQ test, verbal and figural divergent thinking (DT) tests, and a self-assessment of EF, across four study sessions. Participant data (N = 199) were analyzed…
