Gandolfi, Elena; Traverso, Laura; Zanobini, Mirella; Usai, Maria Carmen; Viterbori, Paola – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
This study analyses the longitudinal relationship between early inhibitory control skills and subsequent emergent literacy. At Time 1, a sample of 50 typically monolingual Italian toddlers aged 28 to 36 months in their last year of day-care was assessed on expressive vocabulary and two inhibitory control measures, tapping specifically response…

Dudschig, Carolin; Kaup, Barbara; Svaldi, Jennifer; Gulewitsch, Marco Daniel – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
Recent studies have suggested that negation comprehension falls back onto inhibitory brain systems that are also crucial for impulse control and other non-linguistic control domains (Beltran et al., 2018, 2019; de Vega et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2020). Against this backdrop, the present pilot study investigated the use of negation within…

Kaur, Yadwinder; Weiss, Selina; Zhou, Changsong; Fischer, Rico; Hildebrandt, Andrea – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
Functional connectivity studies have demonstrated that creative thinking builds upon an interplay of multiple neural networks involving the cognitive control system. Theoretically, cognitive control has generally been discussed as the common basis underlying the positive relationship between creative thinking and intelligence. However, the…

Brandon, Christopher I., Jr.; George, Bagie M. – Proceedings of the Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching and Learning Conference, 2017
It has been widely established that, in addition to its role in reproduction, progesterone (P4) also has potent anti-inflammatory effects. While the precise mechanisms have never been clearly elucidated in RAW 246.7 cells, it seems logical to assume that this response is -- at least in part -- a consequence of activation of and signaling through…

Smith, Sara A.; Briggs Baffoe-Djan, Jessica – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
The current study examined self-reported first language (Spanish) language reading and writing ability and behavior and relationships with digit span and stroop task performance. A battery of assessments and questionnaires was administered to 81 sequential Spanish-English bilingual university students in the U.S., for whom the sole language of…

Silver, Alex M.; Elliott, Leanne; Libertus, Melissa E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Recent work has stressed the importance of considering child-level propensities and environmental opportunities when studying early math achievement; however, few studies investigate the interaction between these factors. This study examined whether children's inhibitory control moderates the association between parental math input and children's…

Kaskens, Jarise; Goei, Sui Lin; Van Luit, Johannes E. H.; Verhoeven, Ludo; Segers, Eliane – Elementary School Journal, 2022
This study is conducted to further understand the direct and indirect contributions of executive functioning (visuospatial updating, verbal updating, inhibition, shifting) and arithmetic fluency to mathematical problem-solving in 458 fourth-grade students. Arithmetic fluency along with visuospatial and verbal updating were significant predictors…

Gkalitsiou, Zoi; Byrd, Courtney; Griffin, Zenzi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate executive control in adults who stutter (AWS) and adults who do not stutter (AWNS) via a nonspeech paradigm, wherein eye movements were monitored (i.e., antisaccade task). Processes involved in an antisaccade task include working memory, attention, and voluntary motor control, but the task…

Rattat, Anne-Claire; Chevalier, Nicolas – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020
The present study investigated the role of executive functions in the development of two aspects of timing: temporal reproduction and comparison. Children aged 7 and 10 years and young adults were asked to either reproduce target durations (i.e., reproduction task) or judge the similarity of two target durations (i.e., comparison task). These…

Van Reet, Jennifer – Infant and Child Development, 2020
There has long been a hypothesized link between pretend play and self-regulation in childhood, and several recent studies have confirmed a positive relation between the two in children as young as preschool-age. However, no research to date has investigated whether this relation is present in toddlerhood. The purpose of the present study is to…

Hippocampal Efferents to Retrosplenial Cortex and Lateral Septum Are Required for Memory Acquisition
Opalka, Ashley N.; Wang, Dong V. – Learning & Memory, 2020
Learning and memory involves a large neural network of many brain regions, including the notable hippocampus along with the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and lateral septum (LS). Previous studies have established that the dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) plays a critical role during the acquisition and retrieval/expression of episodic memories. However, the…

Xian Liao; Pengfei Zhao – Written Communication, 2024
Integrated writing (i.e., writing from sources) being a complex process, requires various linguistic and cognitive skills interacting with each other in a dynamic way. While recent studies have increasingly documented that writing processes are driven by a suite of cognitive abilities named executive function (EF), their roles in a literacy…

John Grinstead; Ramón Padilla-Reyes; Melissa Nieves-Rivera; Morgan Oates – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
We test children's distributive and collective sentence interpretations and the variables that predict them. In our first experiment, we establish that adult English collective sentences with "the" or "some" in the subject are categorically collective in their interpretations. We further demonstrate that children's collective…

Hendrix, Peter; Sun, Ching Chu – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
For the most part, the effects of lexical-distributional properties of words on visual word recognition are well-established. More uncertainty remains, however, about the influence of these properties on lexical processing for nonwords. The work presented here investigates the mechanisms that guide nonword processing through an analysis of lexical…

Spencer, Mercedes; Cutting, Laurie E. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
In the current investigation, we used structural equation mediation modeling to examine the relations between executive function (indexed by measures of working memory, shifting, and inhibition), decoding ability, and reading comprehension in a sample of 298 children aged 6 to 8 years (132 boys and 166 girls). Results indicated that executive…
