Cheung, Sum Kwing; Zhang, Juan; Wu, Chenggang – Educational Psychology, 2023
This study explored whether executive functioning skills and maths test anxiety were associated with children's untimed and timed algorithmic computational performance and their discrepancy. It also investigated whether such relations were moderated by children's basic maths fact fluency. One hundred and thirty third-graders were rated by teachers…

Carolus, Amy E.; McLaughlin, Katie A.; Lengua, Lilliana J.; Rowe, Meredith L.; Sheridan, Margaret A.; Zalewski, Maureen; Moran, Lyndsey; Romeo, Rachel R. – Developmental Science, 2024
Conversational turn-taking is a complex communicative skill that requires both linguistic and executive functioning (EF) skills, including processing input while simultaneously forming and inhibiting responses until one's turn. Adult-child turn-taking predicts children's linguistic, cognitive, and socioemotional development. However, little is…

D'Intino, Joseph – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Executive functions are widely considered as an umbrella term for the higher order cognitive processes that contribute to goal-directed behavior. In addition, executive functions are highly correlated with positive academic outcomes. To promote the development of executive functions among youth within educational settings, some theorists and…

Marcusson-Clavertz, David; Persson, Stefan D.; Cardeña, Etzel; Terhune, Devin B.; Gort, Cassandra; Kuehner, Christine – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Accumulating evidence suggests that individuals with greater executive resources spend less time mind wandering. Independent strands of research further suggest that this association depends on concentration and a guilty-dysphoric daydreaming style. However, it remains unclear whether this association is specific to particular features of…

Chung, Kevin Kien Hoa; Lam, Chun Bun; Leung, Chloe Oi Ying – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
The present study investigated the executive functioning of working memory, inhibition, shifting, and planning in Chinese adolescent readers with dyslexia and how they related to Chinese (L1) and English (L2) reading comprehension. Fifty-seven Hong Kong Chinese students at Grade 7 were compared with 57 typically developing readers of…

Scott, Jay; Lyons, Megan; Truby, William; Brockmeier, Lantry; Jiles, Ty; Tsemunhu, Rudo – Journal for the Advancement of Educational Research International, 2020
The purpose of this case study was to determine specific academic and social deficits in executive functioning exhibited by students diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The subject in the study was an eighteen-year-old male. Baseline data were gathered from researcher observations and teacher surveys. Self-evaluation…

Ros-Demarize, Rosmary; Graziano, Paulo A. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2021
The current study examined the feasibility and initial efficacy of the Summer Treatment Program for Pre-kindergarteners (STP-PreK) with 37 preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and externalizing behavior problems (EBP). Parents and teachers reported on children's behavior, social/adaptive skills, and self-regulation. Children completed…

Meijer, Anna; Königs, Marsh; Bruijn, Anne G. M.; Visscher, Chris; Bosker, Roel J.; Hartman, Esther; Oosterlaan, Jaap – Developmental Science, 2021
Previous research in children has shown that higher cardiovascular fitness is related to better executive functioning. However, the available literature is hampered by methodological limitations. The present study investigates the relationship between cardiovascular fitness and executive functioning in a large sample of healthy children (N = 814).…

Giovannoli, Jasmine; Martella, Diana; Casagrande, Maria – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Bilingualism is widespread and being bilingual is more common than being monolingual. The lifelong practice bilinguals receive from managing two languages seems to lead to a cognitive benefit. Conversely, bilingualism seems to affect language ability negatively due to less use of each known language. Aims: This systematic review aims…

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…

Rogobete, Doris Antonia; Ionescu, Thea; Miclea, Mircea – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2021
The proliferation of digital gadgets and increased media consumption among adolescents has raised interest and concern regarding possible effects on cognitive functioning. Research investigating this relationship has yielded mixed results. This study aims to replicate the research conducted by Baumgartner et al. concerning the relationship between…

Fernandez-Prieto, Montse; Moreira, Célia; Cruz, Sara; Campos, Vânia; Martínez-Regueiro, Rocío; Taboada, Maria; Carracedo, Angel; Sampaio, Adriana – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction, executive functioning, sensory-perceptual abilities and behaviour, such as anxious/depressed states, attention problems, aggression, or somatic complains. However, the dynamic relationship between these dimensions remains to be…

Perry, Nicole B.; Donzella, Bonny; Mliner, Shanna B.; Reilly, Emily B. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Longitudinal multimethod data across three time points were examined to explore the associations between previously institutionalized toddlers' (N = 71; 59% female) socioemotional skills (Time Point 1: 18 months to 3-years-old), executive functioning (i.e., attention, working memory, inhibitory control) in the preschool years (Time Point 2:…

Michael Ertel; Eva Monsma; Ali Brian – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2024
The traditional linear skill and drill approach prominent in secondary physical education programs may be leaving some students behind. Critics have argued that this approach fails to meet students' basic psychological needs, while separating the requisite skills from the game itself. Nonlinear pedagogy is an alternative model to teaching motor…

Housman, Donna K.; Cabral, Howard; Aniskovich, Katsiaryna; Denham, Susanne A. – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
Research has shown that the first few years of a child's life are critical for developing executive functioning and emotional regulatory skills. This study aimed to evaluate how begin to ECSEL (Emotional, Cognitive and Social Early Learning), an intervention designed to promote young children's emotional competence, influenced children's…
