Executive functions (EF) have been identified as important predictors of children's proximal and distal development. Recent research highlights pretend play as a potential mechanism for EF development, and there has been a call to identify for whom pretense in most beneficial. The current study investigated whether an association found between…

Miller-Cotto, Dana; Smith, Leann V.; Wang, Aubrey H.; Ribner, Andrew D. – Infant and Child Development, 2022
How might we shift language about executive functions and self-regulation for minoritized children and families to be more culturally sensitive? The objective of this essay is to offer a culturally responsive perspective on executive functions for minoritized children and their families, while also identifying myths and counterarguments to advance…

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…

Helm, Abigail F.; McCormick, Sarah A.; Deater-Deckard, Kirby; Smith, Cynthia L.; Calkins, Susan D.; Bell, Martha Ann – Infant and Child Development, 2020
When children transition to school between the ages of 4 and 6 years, they must learn to control their attention and behaviour to be successful. Concurrently, executive function (EF) is an important skill undergoing significant development in childhood. To understand changes occurring during this period, we examined the role of parenting in the…

Slot, Pauline Louise; Mulder, Hanna; Verhagen, Josje; Leseman, Paul P. M. – Infant and Child Development, 2017
The preschool period is marked by rapid growth of children's self-regulation and related executive functions. Self-regulation is considered an important aspect of school readiness and is related to academic and social--emotional outcomes in childhood. Pretend play, as part of the early childhood curriculum, is hypothesized to support…

Korucu, Irem; Selcuk, Bilge; Harma, Mehmet – Infant and Child Development, 2017
It is argued that self-regulation skill is necessary both for displaying constructive behaviour and for controlling negative social behaviour, and self-regulation might affect social behaviours by increasing the ability to understand others' minds. In this research, in order to examine different aspects of self-regulation and their similarities…

Denham, Susanne A.; Bassett, Hideko H.; Zinsser, Katherine; Wyatt, Todd M. – Infant and Child Development, 2014
Starting on positive trajectories at school entry is important for children's later academic success. Using partial least squares, we sought to specify interrelations among all theory-based components of social-emotional learning (SEL), and their ability to predict later classroom adjustment and academic readiness in a modelling context.…

Lengua, Liliana J.; Zalewski, Maureen; Fisher, Phil; Moran, Lyndsey – Infant and Child Development, 2013
The effects of low income on children's adjustment might be accounted for by disruptions to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis activity and to the development of effortful control. Using longitudinal data and a community sample of preschool-age children (N?=?306, 36-39?months) and their mothers, recruited to over-represent low-income…

Bassett, Hideko Hamada; Denham, Susanne; Wyatt, Todd M.; Warren-Khot, Heather Kiernan – Infant and Child Development, 2012
To aid in understanding preschoolers' self-regulation and refinement of measurement, we examined properties of a field-based assessment battery of preschooler's self-regulation, the Preschool Self-regulation Assessment (PSRA). The PSRA, which includes seven age-appropriate tasks that tap children's executive control, was administered to 313…
