Abstract A vast body of work highlights executive functions (EFs) as robust correlates mathematics achievement over the primary and preschool years. Yet, despite such correlational evidence, there is limited evidence that EF interventions yield improvements in early years mathematics. As intervention studies are a powerful tool to move beyond correlation causality, failures transfer from are, we argue, highly problematic for both applied theoretical reasons. We review existing literature at...
The developmental period from infancy to early childhood is one of substantial change – in advancements cognitive skills, such as executive functions, but also the maturation prefrontal and parietal cortices that parallel advances. current study aims investigate emergence development inhibitory control, a core function, childhood. We collected longitudinal functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) data same sample participants at 10-months, 16-months, 3½ years age whilst they completed...

<title>Abstract</title> Executive functions (EF) are crucial to regulating learning and predictors of emerging mathematics. However, interventions that integrate improve mathematics remain poorly understood. 193 four-year-olds (mean age = 3 years:11 months pre-intervention; 111 female, 69% White) were assessed 5 apart, with 103 children randomized an integrated EF intervention. We hypothesized the intervention would scores more than practice-as-usual. Multi-level modelling network analyses...
The current study focused on the collaboration between cognitive scientists and educators to co-develop progressively refine Orchestrating Numeracy Executive (“The ONE”) Programme, an evidence-based integrated Functions Mathematics intervention composed of professional development play-based activities. This iterative process resulted in high ratings acceptability feasibility, as well acceptable adherence fidelity across settings, combined with knowledge gains for early years practitioners...
As online research has become more prevalent, researchers have been investigating the possibility of replicating techniques that go beyond measuring only simple behaviour. One such method could leverage webcam participants’ device to collect information about eye gaze direction. Several packages developed for collecting data, but they all lead high attrition and require extensive potentially frustrating calibration procedures, which hinders research, in particular data collection including...

Children’s cognitive development is increasingly put at risk due to ubiquitous environmental toxicants, threatening their physiological and health. Moreover, such toxicants have further reached food water resources, causing developmental delays which are profoundly unavoidable.
 This literature review studies how might negatively affect the of children aged 5-12 years old. The purpose this paper spread awareness dangers that facing increasing level toxicants. Throughout paper, negative...
