Tiffany Wu; Christina Weiland; Meghan McCormick; JoAnn Hsueh; Catherine Snow; Jason Sachs – Grantee Submission, 2024
The Hearts and Flowers (H&F) task is a computerized executive functioning (EF) assessment that has been used to measure EF from early childhood to adulthood. It provides data on accuracy and reaction time (RT) across three different task blocks (hearts, flowers, and mixed). However, there is a lack of consensus in the field on how to score the…

Sabol, Terri J.; McCoy, Dana Charles; Gonzalez, Kathryn; Hanno, Emily; Busby, Andrea; Wei, Wendy; Downer, Jason – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
The current study examined the contexts in which a preschool teacher professional development intervention was more versus less effective in improving student outcomes. We used a fixed intercept, random coefficient (FIRC) modeling approach to explore the contextual characteristics inside and outside school walls that predicted differential…

Bialystok, Ellen; Shorbagi, Sadek Hefni – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
In contrast to research that examines the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and bilingualism on development by comparing clearly disparate groups, the present study investigated the role of subtle differences in these experiences for their joint impact on performance on a verbal fluency task and an executive function (EF) task. The study…

Gina L. Harrison; Lila Boulet – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2024
This study examined whether the assessment of executive function (EF) added a unique contribution to second language (L2) reading comprehension in children in French immersion. Participants were 8- to 9-year old children who completed a collection of measures assessing French reading (i.e., word reading, decoding, and reading comprehension ) and…

Executive Function and Theory of Mind in Children Living in Poverty: A Short-Term Longitudinal Study
Huang, Rong; Baker, Erin Ruth; Battista, Carmela; Liu, Qingyang – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
The early childhood years are critical for developing executive function (EF) and theory of mind (ToM). Prior literature suggests a robust relationship between EF and ToM; however, this relationship has seldom been investigated in children living in poverty. In addition, few studies have employed comprehensive ToM measures to explore how EF…

Xing, Xiaopei; Wei, Yutong; Wang, Meifang – Developmental Psychology, 2022
By using a three-time longitudinal design, the present study focuses on three components of executive function (EF), respectively, to examine whether the relation between EF and receptive vocabulary was reciprocal and whether the direction of the above relation would differ by EF components and child gender. A total of 320 Chinese preschool…

Kapa, Leah L.; Mettler, Heidi M. – Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, 2021
Purpose: Our goal was to examine the relationship between language and executive function in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and/or developmental language disorder (DLD) with a specific focus on how language in the form of self-directed speech (SDS) affects executive functioning in this population. Method: Participants included…

Blankenship, Tashauna L.; Calkins, Susan D.; Bell, Martha Ann – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Item recognition and temporal order memory follow different developmental trajectories during middle childhood, with item recognition performance stabilizing and temporal order memory performance continuing to improve. We investigated the potential unique role of individual executive functions on item recognition and temporal order memory during…

Lind-Combs, Holly C.; Holt, Rachael Frush – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) are at increased risk for neurocognitive delays, which can have cascading effects on development. Associations between neurocognition and the content of parental language--specifically the use of mental state vocabulary--have been observed in typically hearing (TH) children. This study…

Allee, Karyn A. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2022
This study explored the effects of pedagogical approaches on Title I kindergarten students' executive function (EF) and academic achievement to test the hypothesis that children, especially those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, will benefit when purposeful play is incorporated into learning. Students in the play-based group generally had…

Grote, Kandice S.; Scott, Rose M.; Gilger, Jeffrey – First Language, 2021
Recent research suggests that bilinguals might exhibit advantages in several areas of executive function, including working memory, inhibitory control, and attentional control. However, few studies have examined potential bilingual advantages within lower socioeconomic status (SES) populations. Here we addressed this gap in the literature by…

Jamsek, Izabela A.; Holt, Rachael Frush; Kronenberger, William G.; Pisonic, David B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of parental sensitivity in language and neurocognitive outcomes in children who are deaf and/or hard of hearing (DHH). Method: Sixty-two parent-child dyads of children with normal hearing (NH) and 64 of children who are DHH (3-8 years) completed parent and child measures of inhibitory…

Beisly, Amber; Kwon, Kyong-Ah; Jeon, Shinyoung; Lim, Chaehyun – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Executive function and learning behaviour play an important role in children's academic outcomes by helping them maintain attention, work cooperatively, and stay focused, especially for those from lower family socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. This study explored whether these learning-related skills were associated with children's…

Dicataldo, Raffaele; Moscardino, Ughetta; Mammarella, Irene Cristina; Roch, Maja – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Listening narrative comprehension is a complex process that requires the processing of explicit (i.e., information presented in the text) and implicit information (i.e., information inferable from the text) and involves several linguistic and cognitive skills. However, the specific role of these skills in children's comprehension remains unclear.…

Koopmans, Clare; Sakash, Ashley; Soriano, Jennifer; Long, Helen L.; Hustad, Katherine C. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between functional communication skills, underlying speech, language, and cognitive impairments and school-based speech pathology services in students with cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Thirty-five participants with CP who had Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) were classified…
