Early childhood represents a period of rapid cognitive developmental change in executive
function (EF) skills along with a variety of related cognitive processes, including processing …

This study tested whether the bivariate association between simple reaction time (SRT) and
executive function (EF) performance that has been observed in early childhood represented …

Research suggests that executive function (EF) may distinguish between children who are
well-or ill-prepared for kindergarten; however, little is known about the test–retest reliability …

Traditionally, executive function (EF) tasks have been scored using either accuracy or
reaction time (RT) metrics. The current study, which includes 1,015 first-grade children from …

Executive function (EF) refers to higher order, self-regulatory cognitive processes that aid in
the monitoring and control of thought and action (for a review, see Carlson, Zelazo, & Faja …

Processing speed is a foundational cognitive ability strongly associated with executive
functions in children. To precisely interpret children's results in measures of executive …

Executive function allows individuals to respond flexibly and adaptively to an ever-changing
environment and thus is effortful, is a complex tertiary process, and matures in a protracted …

Executive functions (EFs) are interrelated cognitive processes that have been studied in
relation to behavior, attention, academic achievement, and developmental disorders …

In this chapter, we summarize our ongoing efforts to develop and rigorously evaluate a
battery of executive function (EF) tasks for use across the early childhood period (ie, 3–5 …

The current study tests whether accuracy and reaction time (RT) on the Hearts and Flowers
(HF) task, a common assessment tool used across wide age ranges, can be leveraged as …
