Executive Function: Implications for Education. NCER 2017-2000. (2016, background): “…and McClelland 2010; St. Clair-Thompson and Gathercole 2006); overall school achievement (e.g., Bull and Scerif 2001; Bull, Espy, and Wiebe 2008; Clark, Pritchard, and Woodward 2010; Mazzocco and Kover 2007); grades (Duckworth and Seligman 2005); high school completion (Vitaro et al. 2005), and…”
Building Links Between Early Socioeconomic Status, Cognitive Ability, and Math and Science Achievement (2017, background): “In a longitudinal study conducted with 4- to 6-year-olds, two components of problem solving—higher inhibitory control and set shifting —predicted enhanced performance on the Woodcock-Johnson Math Fluency Test at age 6 years (Clark et al., 2010).”
The role of cognitive inhibition in different components of arithmetic (2015, background): “A smaller number of studies have found that inhibition predicts future success in mathematics (Blair and Razza 2007; Clark et al. 2010; Swanson 2011).”
Examining the Validity of Behavioral Self-Regulation Tools in Predicting Preschoolers' Academic Achievement (2014, background): “Therefore, the cognitive skills that are required to do well on direct assessments of behavioral self-regulation, such as the HTKS, also lay the foundation for success in math achievement (Bull, Espy, & Wiebe, 2008; Clark et al., 2010; Espy et al., 2004; Willoughby, Blair, Wirth, & Greenberg, 2012).”
Developing together: The role of executive function and motor skills in children’s early academic lives (2019, positive): “…and Motor Skills McClelland & Cameron 10 is consistent with research that has illuminated a close coupling between early writing and reading development (Clark, 2010; Ho, 2011; Juel, 1988; Puranik, Lonigan, & Kim, 2011), with motor skills forming a foundation for writing (Berninger et al., 1992).”
Examining the Relations Between Executive Function, Math, and Literacy During the Transition to Kindergarten: A Multi-Analytic Approach (2017, neutral): “T hi s ar tic le is in te nd ed so le ly fo r th e pe rs on al us e of th e in di vi du al us er an d is no t to be di ss em in at ed br oa dl y. Clark et al., 2010; Espy et al., 2004; Willoughby, Blair, et al., 2012).”
Shifting ability predicts math and reading performance in children: A meta-analytical study (2013, background): “…ability and reading performance, several studies have examined this association, with some reporting significant results (e.g., Latzman, Elkovitch, Young, & Clark, 2010; Van der Sluis et al., 2007), but others showing no link between the two (e.g., Mayes et al., 2009; McLean & Hitch, 1999).”
