Executive function and learning behaviour play an important role in children's academic outcomes by helping them maintain attention, work cooperatively, stay focused, especially for those from lower family socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. This study explored whether these learning-related skills were associated with concurrent math literacy they moderated the associations of SES skills.

Sixty-seven mostly middle-class, two-parent families toddlers were observed in a...
