The persistent sampling bias in developmental psychology: A call to action
TL;DR: It is shown that high-impact-factor developmental journals are heavily skewed toward publishing articles with data from WEIRD populations, and there is a habitual dependence on convenience sampling and little evidence that the discipline is making any meaningful movement toward drawing from diverse samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the links between the subcomponents of executive function and academic achievement: a cross-cultural analysis of Chinese and American preschoolers.
