Improvements in Motor Competence Skills Are Associated with Improvements in Executive Function and Math Problem-Solving Skills in Early Childhood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Michael Willoughby; Kesha Hudson; Yihua Hong; Amanda Wylie – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Efforts to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in school-age children are associated with improved health, cognitive, and academic outcomes. However, questions remain about whether similar benefits are observed in early childhood. We hypothesized that motor competence, not MVPA, would be related to improved cognitive and…

Examining Associations between Preschool Home Literacy Experiences, Language, Cognition and Early Word Reading: Evidence from a Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Simmons, Fiona R.; Soto-Calvo, Elena; Adams, Anne-Marie; Francis, Hannah N.; Patel, Hannah; Giofrè, David – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: The study investigated whether preschool code-related home literacy experiences had direct associations with regular and irregular word reading in the first year of primary school as well as exploring whether there were indirect associations between these experiences and later word reading via children's language skills or…

Classroom Climate, Cardiac Vagal Tone, and Inhibitory Control: Links to Focused Attention in First Graders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Scrimin, Sara; Osler, Gabriele; Moscardino, Ughetta; Mason, Lucia – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2018
The present study aimed to investigate the role of classroom climate and self-regulation in terms of cardiac vagal tone and inhibitory control in primary school students' focused attention. A combination of direct and indirect measures was used to assess classroom climate, sustained and selective attention, and inattention behaviors among 62 first…

Goal-Directed Action Control in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Geurts, Hilde M; de Wit, Sanne – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2014
Repetitive behavior is a key characteristic of autism spectrum disorders. Our aim was to investigate the hypothesis that this abnormal behavioral repetition results from a tendency to over-rely on habits at the expense of flexible, goal-directed action. Twenty-four children with autism spectrum disorders and 24 age- and gender-matched controls…

Does Early Active Bilingualism Enhance Inhibitory Control and Monitoring? A Propensity-Matching Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hartanto, Andree; Yang, Hwajin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Prior research suggesting that longer bilingual experience benefits inhibitory control and monitoring has been criticized for a lack of control over confounding variables. We addressed this issue by using a propensity-score matching procedure that enabled us to match early and late bilinguals on 18 confounding variables--for example, demographic…
