Short-Term Memory, Working Memory, and Executive Functioning in Preschoolers: Longitudinal Predictors of Mathematical Achievement at Age 7 Years
TL;DR: Correlational and regression analyses revealed that visual short-term and working memory were found to specifically predict math achievement at each time point, while executive function skills predicted learning in general rather than learning in one specific domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using confirmatory factor analysis to understand executive control in preschool children: I. Latent structure.
TL;DR: In typically developing preschool children, tasks conceptualized as indexes of working memory and inhibitory control in fact measured a single cognitive ability, despite surface differences between task characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Contribution of Executive Functions to Emergent Mathematic Skills in Preschool Children.
Kimberly Andrews Espy,Melanie M. McDiarmid,Mary F. Cwik,Melissa Meade Stalets,Arlena Hamby,Theresa E. Senn +5 more
TL;DR: Preschool children were administered an executive function battery that was reduced empirically to working memory, inhibitory control, and shifting abilities and predicted early arithmetic competency, with the observed relations robust after controlling statistically for child age, maternal education, and child vocabulary.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of executive function in 3-year-olds
Sandra A. Wiebe,Tiffany D. Sheffield,Jennifer Mize Nelson,Caron A. C. Clark,Nicolas Chevalier,Kimberly Andrews Espy +5 more
TL;DR: Tests of the relative fit of several alternative models supported a single latent EF construct, and measurement invariance testing revealed less proficient EF in children at higher sociodemographic risk relative to those at lower risk and no differences between boys and girls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) in a Clinical Sample
TL;DR: Evidence for the validity of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function based on internal structure was examined in a sample of children with mixed clinical diagnoses and the findings support a fractionated, multi-component view of executive function as measured by the BRIEF.
