Direct linkYoung-Suk Grace Kim – Grantee Submission, 2023
Purpose: A large body of literature showed that word reading and listening comprehension-two proximal predictors of reading comprehension according to the simple view of reading -- are related. Grounded on the direct and indirect effects model of reading, we examined the extent to which the relation is explained by domain-general cognitions or…

Kidd, Julie K.; McKnight, Patrick E.; Gallington, Debbie A.; Strauss, Lauren I.; Lyu, Hao; Lauritzen, Hans Christian; Choe, Jihyae; Holmberg, Courtney A.; Pasnak, Robert – Grantee Submission, 2021
Cognitive abilities, executive functions (EFs) and patterning, and simple measures of early literacy and mathematics were measured for 275 kindergartners during the second and third month of formal schooling. An exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors. The first was a literacy factor, to which a number series scale made a small…

Mohtasham, Mandana K.; Patterson, Allyson B.; Vennergrund, Katherine C.; Chen, Eileen; Pasnak, Robert – Early Child Development and Care, 2019
The importance of social-emotional competence, executive functioning, and behavioural recognition of patterns by young children is receiving increased attention from researchers, schools, parents, and teachers due to the beneficial outcomes of children who have skills in each. This paper presents studies of the correlations between these variables…

Strauss, Lauren I.; Peterson, Matthew S.; Kidd, Julie K.; Choe, Jihyae; Lauritzen, Hans Christian; Patterson, Allyson B.; Holmberg, Courtney A.; Gallington, Debbie A.; Pasnak, Robert – Journal of Educational Research, 2020
To determine whether patterning instruction was as useful or more useful than other forms of instruction, kindergarten children (age five) were taught either patterning or early literacy or mathematics or social studies in matched sessions. Instruction was conducted in 15-minute sessions from November through mid-April. Posttests on patterning,…

Bock, Allison M.; Cartwright, Kelly B.; McKnight, Patrick E.; Patterson, Allyson B.; Shriver, Amber G.; Leaf, Britney M.; Mohtasham, Mandana K.; Vennergrund, Katherine C.; Pasnak, Robert – Grantee Submission, 2018
Detecting a pattern within a sequence of ordered units, defined as patterning, is a cognitive ability that is important in learning mathematics and influential in learning to read. The present study was designed to examine relations between first-grade children's executive functions, patterning, and reading abilities, and to examine whether these…

Cantor, Pamela; Osher, David; Berg, Juliette; Steyer, Lily; Rose, Todd – Applied Developmental Science, 2019
This article synthesizes foundational knowledge from multiple scientific disciplines regarding how humans develop in context. Major constructs that define human development are integrated into a developmental system framework, this includes--epigenetics, neural malleability and plasticity, integrated complex skill development and learning, human…

Pasnak, Robert – Grantee Submission, 2017
Young children have been taught simple sequences of alternating shapes and colors, referred to as "patterning", for the past half century in the hope that their understanding of pre-algebra and their mathematics achievement would be improved. The evidence that such patterning instruction actually improves children's academic achievement…
