TL;DR: It was found that guessers were impaired in their ability to inhibit inappropriate responding on all tasks used to assess EF (the stop signal task, the Stroop task, and the Tower of London task), raising the question of whether the specific reading disorder of guessers may be linked to the same executive deficits which underlie ADHD.

TL;DR: This paper examined the effects of consistency (relational term consistent vs. inconsistent with required arithmetic operation) and markedness on word problem solving in 10-12 year old children differing in problem-solving skill.

TL;DR: This paper examined whether 10-12-year-old children use two reading strategies to aid their text comprehension: (1) distinguishing between important and unimportant words; and (2) resolving anaphoric references.

TL;DR: The utility (and potential advantages) of an alternative way of setting stop signal delay relative to mean reaction time (MRT) is explored, which compensates for inter-individual differences in primary task reaction speed bySetting stop signal delays as proportions of the subjects' MRT.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the use of context and monitoring of comprehension in lexical ambiguity resolution in children, and found that poor comprehenders made use of prior context to facilitate lexical ambiguities resolution as effectively as good comprehenders but that they monitored their comprehension less effectively than good comprehension.
