Longitudinal Reciprocal Relations among Reading, Executive Function, and Social-Emotional Skills: Maybe Not for All
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zhang, Zheng; Peng, Peng – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
In this study, we investigated longitudinal reciprocal relations among reading, executive function, and social-emotional skills in students from Grades 2 to 5, using the data set from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011. We addressed several important gaps in the literature on longitudinal reciprocal relations…

Do Spanish-English Bilingual Children Outperform Monolingual English-Speaking Children on Executive Function Tasks in Early Childhood? A Propensity Score Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Goodrich, J. Marc; Koziol, Natalie A.; Yoon, HyeonJin; Leiva, Sergio – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Despite much research examining whether bilingual individuals demonstrate superior executive function (EF) skills compared to monolinguals, the purported bilingual advantage remains controversial. One potential reason for discrepant findings across studies examining the bilingual advantage is the difficulty in matching monolingual and bilingual…

Family and Community Resource and Stress Processes Related to Income Disparities in School-Aged Children's Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Votruba-Drzal, Elizabeth; Miller, Portia; Betancur, Laura; Spielvogel, Bryn; Kruzik, Claudia; Coley, Rebekah Levine – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Income disparities in children's academic and behavioral skills have grown larger over the past 50 years. At the same time, economic segregation across communities has increased, raising questions regarding the role of community factors in explaining income gaps in children's functioning. Combining geospatial data with longitudinal survey data…

Cognitive Dimensions of Learning in Children with Problems in Attention, Learning, and Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Holmes, Joni; Guy, Jacalyn; Kievit, Rogier A.; Bryant, Annie; Mareva, Silvana; Gathercole, Susan E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
A data-driven, transdiagnostic approach was used to identify the cognitive dimensions linked with learning in a mixed group of 805 children aged 5 to 18 years recognized as having problems in attention, learning, and memory by a health or education practitioner. Assessments included phonological processing; information processing speed; short-term…

Working Memory Components and Problem-Solving Accuracy: Are There Multiple Pathways?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Swanson, H. Lee; Fung, Wenson – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
This study determined the working memory (WM) components (executive, phonological short-term memory [STM], and visual-spatial sketchpad) that best predicted mathematical word problem-solving accuracy in elementary schoolchildren (N = 392). The battery of tests administered to assess mediators between WM and problem-solving included measures of…

When Prior Knowledge Interferes, Inhibitory Control Matters for Learning: The Case of Numerical Magnitude Representations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Laski, Elida V.; Dulaney, Alana – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
The present study tested the "interference hypothesis"-that learning and using more advanced representations and strategies requires the inhibition of prior, less advanced ones. Specifically, it examined the relation between inhibitory control and number line estimation performance. Experiment 1 compared the accuracy of adults' (N = 53)…
