• Behavioral self-regulation and executive function both predict visuomotor skills and early academic achievement (2014, background): “Work with behavioral SR supports this proposal in prekindergarten children, with behavioral SR mediating relations between higher levels of active play with math achievement (Becker et al., 2014).”
• Effects of Integrated Physical Exercises and Gestures on Preschool Children’s Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning (2015, background): “One of the few intervention programs targeting preschool children found that when they were engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity play, they showed better self-regulation skills, which resulted in higher math and literary achievement scores (Becker et al. 2014).”
