Pellizzoni, Sandra; Fontana, Martina; Passolunghi, Maria Chiara – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Executive Functions (EFs) are crucial top-down processes characterized by cool and hot aspects, required for goal-directed behaviour. Only a few studies evaluated and trained concurrently cool and hot EFs. Therefore, we promote a training aiming to enhance both EFs components. A total of 91 children attending the second year of kindergarten were…
