Matthew E. Foster; Jacqueline M. Caemmerer; Briana Hennessy; Sara A. Smith; Lisa M. López; Trina D. Spencer – Elementary School Journal, 2024
Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Cohort (2010-2011), this study is the first to investigate predictors of kindergarten science achievement and growth across elementary school--English language proficiency (ELP), executive functioning, math and reading achievement, parent-engaged science and math activities, and classroom…

Socioeconomic Status and Early Reading Achievement: How Working Memory and Cognitive Flexibility Mediate the Relation in Low-Achieving and Typically Developing K to First Grade Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Barnes, Zachary T.; Boedeker, Peter; Cartwright, Kelly B.; Zhang, Bingshi – Journal of Research in Reading, 2022
Studies have demonstrated significant associations between executive function (EF) and reading ability. Many of these studies have evaluated this association through composite EF skills. In this study, we evaluated the indirect effects of working memory (WM) and cognitive flexibility (CF) in the relation between kindergarten socioeconomic status…

Kim, Matthew H.; Bousselot, Tracy E.; Ahmed, Sammy F. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Executive functions (EF) are domain-general cognitive skills that predict foundational academic skills such as literacy and numeracy. However, less is known about the relation between EFs and science achievement. The nature of this relation might be explained by the theory of mutualism, which states that development is the result of complex and…

Examining the Influence of Interactions between Early Reading Skills and Executive Functioning on Second Grade Reading Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mariotti, Emily C.; Fillauer, J. Parks; Martin, McKenzie; Bolden, Jennifer – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2020
Questions still exist about the interplay between foundational literacy components and budding cognitive structures that are thought to influence advanced reading abilities. Understanding interactions between executive functions (EFs) and specific early reading skills could contribute to our understanding of later reading achievement. The present…

Willoughby, Michael T.; Blair, Clancy B. – Grantee Submission, 2016
This study tested whether individual executive function (EF) tasks were better characterized as formative or reflective indicators of the latent construct of EF. EF data that were collected as part of the Family Life Project (FLP), a prospective longitudinal study of families who were recruited at the birth of a new child (N = 1,292), when…
