Preschool Self-Regulation and Preacademic Skills as Mediators of the Long-Term Impacts of an Early Intervention
McCoy, Dana C.; Gonzalez, Kathryn; Jones, Stephanie
Child Development, v90 n5 p1544-1558 Sep-Oct 2019
This study explores children's early academic and self-regulatory skills as potential pathways through which a preschool enrichment program--the Chicago School Readiness Project (CSRP)--may contribute to low-income children's long-term outcomes (N = 466; M[subscript age] at baseline = 4.10 years). We find that CSRP's impact on high school grades may be partially explained by early gains in vocabulary and math skills. Although impacts on high school executive function (EF) were more equivocal, our results suggest that early improvements in math skills attributable to the intervention may, in turn, predict long-term gains in EF skills. These results complement the existing literature on preschool fade out, while also shedding light on the cross-domain relations between academic and self-regulatory skills.
