Sadeghi, Saeid; Shalani, Bita; Nejati, Vahid – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The inhibitory control (IC) is one of the basic executive functions (EFs) that all other EFs are hierarchically perched on this ability. Current knowledge of IC development in the elementary school years is limited. In this study, three tasks; go/no-go task (response inhibition), flanker task (attentional inhibition), and circle-tracing time task…

Odelia van Stryp; Michael J. Duncan; Eileen Africa – Early Child Development and Care, 2024
Developing children's FMS and executive function is a critical aspect of early childhood. The aim was to evaluate the fundamental movement skills (FMS) and executive function. The objectives were to investigate the locomotor and object control skills as well as inhibitory control and working memory of the selected children. Grade 1 (6-8-years-old)…

Zeng, Xiao; Yang, Lijun; Zhu, Xiaoqian; Zhou, Ke; Zhang, Juan; Yan, Zhiqiang – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Empathy is crucial for our social life, with evidences suggesting that executive function is the cognitive basis of empathy. However, debates about the causal relationship between executive function and empathy still exist. A two-wave and one-year longitudinal follow-up experiment is conducted to investigate this problem, mainly focusing on…

Dong, Shuyang; Wang, Zhengyan; Cheng, Nanhua – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
This study examined how maternal cognitive mind-mindedness, maternal time, and their interactions predict inhibitory control in Chinese children. Participants were 88 toddlers (59% girls) and their mothers from Beijing, China. Maternal cognitive mind-mindedness was coded in mother-child interactions and mothers reported weekly interaction duration…

Zhou, Vanessa; Wilson, Beverly J. – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Inhibitory control (IC) ability in early childhood is associated with positive socioemotional, academic, and behavioural outcomes later in life. However, inhibitory control in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is not well understood. We conducted a large, cross-sectional study comparing IC ability of young children with ASD and…

Longobardi, Emiddia; Spataro, Pietro; Morelli, Mara; Laghi, Fiorenzo – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The present study examined the way in which behavioural difficulties in cool and hot EFs relate to measures of cognitive and affective ToM in preschoolers. A total of 144 children between 35 and 71 months were assessed with a first-order false-belief task (measuring cognitive ToM), the Test of Emotion Comprehension (measuring affective ToM) and a…

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…

Aoyama, Sho; Imai-Matsumura, Kyoko – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The purpose of the present study was to clarify comprehensively how and to what extent inhibition, spatial working memory (WM), and auditory WM influence agility, balance, and dexterity of motor coordination and comprehensive physical ability in kindergarteners. Participants were 43 children between the ages of 4 and 5 years old. The children…

Schmitt, Sara A.; Korucu, Irem; Jones, Blake L.; Snyder, Frank J.; Evich, Carly D.; Purpura, David J. – Early Child Development and Care, 2019
The primary aim of this study was to examine associations between executive functioning (EF) and child weight status (categorized from body mass index [BMI] percentiles) in a sample of preschool children. Participants included 80 preschool children (mean age = 4.17 years, female = 52%). Hierarchical regression analyses as well as analysis of…

Bolduc, Jonathan; Gosselin, Nathalie; Chevrette, Tommy; Peretz, Isabelle – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This study explores how music training impacts the development of inhibition control, phonological processing, and gross and fine motor skills in preschoolers. In a randomized controlled trial, 160 kindergarteners in a music programme, a motor programme, or a control group were examined. Children in the two experimental conditions took part in 19…

Ghodrati, Saeed; Askari Nejad, Mohammad Sadegh; Sharifian, Maryam; Nejati, Vahid – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Inhibitory control plays a crucial role in cognitive functioning. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of a program for attentive rehabilitation of inhibition and selective attention (PARISA), on inhibitory control in preschool children. Thirty preschool children, (10 girls) aged six were randomly assigned to the two control and intervention…

Veraksa, Alexander Nikolaevich; Gavrilova, Margarita Nikolaevna; Bukhalenkova, Daria ?lexeevna; Almazova, Olga; Veraksa, Nickolay Evgenievich; Colliver, Yeshe – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
Previous research has indicated that young children's executive functions (EFs) can be bolstered through role-play [e.g. the 'Batman™ effect'; White et al.]. However, what is not clear is whether it is the role-playing of another's perspective, or something about the role played, which is responsible for the Batman™ effect. The current experiment…

Wang, Xinghua; Yang, Jialing; Zhou, Ji; Zhang, Shuyue – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Parent-grandparent coparenting is a common phenomenon in mainland China; however, little is known about its relationship with children's cognitive development. This study investigates the links between parent-grandparent coparenting and young children's executive function (EF) and examines the potential mediating role of maternal parenting between…

Martins, Eva Costa; Marcu?, Oana; Leal, Juliana; Visu-Petra, Laura – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
Affective flexibility (AF) is the ability to alternate between processing emotional and non-emotional information. This hot executive function has been understudied during early development. The first aim of our investigation was to generate preliminary construct validity evidence for a new measure of AF: the Emotional Flexible Item Selection Task…

Veijalainen, Jouni; Reunamo, Jyrki; Heikkilä, Minna – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This paper aims to determine possible gender differences in children's observed emotional expressions and their relationship with teacher-rated self-regulation (SR) skills in the setting of early childhood education and care (ECEC). Supporting SR and emotional wellbeing in early childhood can be considered a favourable pathway towards holistic…
