Wanjiang Zhou; Pablo Saiz-González; Ronny Rodriguez Aragon; Kaitlyn Adams; Zan Gao – Quest, 2024
This systematic review synthesized current literature regarding the effect of physical activity (PA) interventions on brain structure (BS) and brain function (BF) in healthy children. This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews protocols and used the Rayyan web for data extraction. Eleven experimental studies were…

Maria Camila Londono; Carmen Dionne; Carl Lacharité – Journal of Early Intervention, 2025
Executive functions (EFs) are cognitive skills that begin developing in early life and are crucial for children's overall development and daily task performance. Generally, EFs are assessed through standardized neuropsychological tests, which may not always accurately capture real-world application. To overcome this limitation, alternative methods…

Betts, Joseph Lee; Eggins, Elizabeth; Chandler-Mather, Ned; Shelton, Doug; Till, Haydn; Harnett, Paul; Dawe, Sharon – Campbell Systematic Reviews, 2022
Background: The consequences for children born with birth defects and developmental disabilities encompassed by foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) are profound, affecting all areas of social, behavioural and cognitive functioning. Given the strong evidence for a core deficit in executive functioning, underpinned by impaired self-regulation…

Senter, Reed; Chow, Jason C.; Willis, Emma C. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this synthesis was to systematically review the research and guidance for school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who provide intervention to children with developmental executive function (EF) deficits, particularly those children with co-occurring developmental language disorder (DLD). Method: We conducted a…

Leher Singh – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
This article serves as an introduction to the Special Issue on "Decolonizing and Diversifying Research in Cognitive Development." The Special Issue comprises six articles: two articles are empirical articles that focus on executive function development in under-represented environments, two articles address barriers pathways toward…

Efsun Birtwistle; Olga Chernikova; Miriam Wünsch; Frank Niklas – SAGE Open, 2025
We investigated the effect of cognitive training of executive functions on children's cognitive outcomes. To address this issue, a systematic meta-analysis of published research articles on cognitive training interventions was performed considering children's age, training duration, -procedure, and -technology in moderator analyses. The results (N…

Schirmbeck, Katharina; Rao, Nirmala; Maehler, Claudia – Infant and Child Development, 2020
A systematic review was conducted to gain a more nuanced understanding of similarities and distinctions across countries in the development of executive functions (EF). The review includes 26 studies, with child and adolescent participants, that were published between 2006 and 2018. Both similarities and differences within developmental patterns…

Moron, Victória Branca; Barbosa, Débora Nice Ferrari; Sanfelice, Gustavo Roese; Barbosa, Jorge Luis Victória; Leithardt, Daiana R. F.; Leithardt, Valderi Reis Quietinho – Education Sciences, 2022
Studies show that executive functions and motor development are associated with each other and with learning ability. A more technological lifestyle combined with digital culture should be considered a viable alternative to stimulate children's development. Therefore, this study aimed to present a systematic mapping of the literature involving…

Cassondra M. Eng; Rachel M. Flynn; Erik D. Thiessen; Anna V. Fisher – Grantee Submission, 2023
Exergames (video games that promote cognitive and physical activity simultaneously) benefit executive function (EF) in elderly populations. It has been suggested that exergames may induce larger effects than cognitive or exercise training alone, but few reviews have synthesized the causal factors of exergames on EF from experimental research with…

Niblock, Jayna; Frolek Clark, Gloria; Crane Vos, Taylor; Lieberman, Deborah; Hunter, Elizabeth G. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2021
Aim: This article is the second part of a systematic review updates and broadens a previous systematic review (Frolek Clark & Schlabach, 2010) to examine the evidence for of interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice to enhance cognitive and pre-academic development in young children with or without at-risk factors. This…

López-Serrano, Sebastián; Ruiz-Ariza, Alberto; De La Torre-Cruz, Manuel; Martínez-López, Emilio J. – South African Journal of Education, 2021
Recent studies and reviews have shown the positive effects of exergames (EXs) on physical activity (PA) and fitness in children and adolescents. Nevertheless, their effects on cognition have been scarcely explored, and no previous review has focussed on this relationship. The purpose of the research reported on here was to analyse the acute and…

Gottschalk, Francesca – OECD Publishing, 2019
Children in the 21st century are avid users of technology--more so than generations past. This rise in use has led to much attention on the consequences of technology use, and how this impacts children's brains and their socio-emotional, cognitive and physical development. Much of the research in these fields, especially brain-based research, is…

Frolek Clark, Gloria; Niblock, Jayna; Crane Vos, Taylor; Lieberman, Deborah; Hunter, Elizabeth G. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2021
Interventions to enhance cognitive and executive function performance are essential for the child's performance in current and future occupations. Occupational therapy practitioners are critical members of early intervention, education, and healthcare teams. Practitioners are distinctly qualified to address cognitive functioning within the context…

Vandenbroucke, Loren; Spilt, Jantine; Verschueren, Karine; Piccinin, Claire; Baeyens, Dieter – Review of Educational Research, 2018
Executive functions (EFs), important cognitive processes that enable goal-directed behavior, develop due to maturation and environmental stimulation. The current study systematically reviews and synthesizes evidence on the association between teacher-student interactions and EFs. The search resulted in 28 studies, from which 23 studies provided…

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…
