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 structure of executive function in 3-year-olds

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

Systematic review of physical activity and cognitive development in early childhood

TL;DR: Some preliminary evidence that physical activity may have beneficial effects on cognitive development during early childhood is provided, given the shortage of the information and the weak quality of available evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis to Understand Executive Control in Preschool Children: Sources of Variation in Emergent Mathematic Achievement.

TL;DR: Findings underscore the need to examine the dimensions, mechanisms, and individual pathways that influence the development of early competence in basic cognitive processes that underpin early academic achievement.
