The question whether executive function (EF) deficits in children are associated with conduct problems remains controversial. Although the origins of aggressive behavior to be found early childhood, findings from EF studies preschool inconsistent. current study aimed investigate show impairments EF. From a population-based sample, 82 who were showing as indicated by scores at or above 93rd percentile on Aggressive Behavior Scale CBCL 1 1/2-5 selected. These matched IQ group typically...
We examined whether very preterm (< or =30 weeks gestation) children at early school age have impairments in executive function (EF) independent of IQ and processing speed, demographic neonatal risk factors were associated with EF impairments. A consecutive sample 50 (27 boys 23 girls) born (mean = 5.9 years, SD 0.4, mean gestational 28.0 weeks, 1.4) was compared to a age-matched full-term controls (23 girls 27 boys, 6.0 0.6) respect performance on comprehensive battery, assessing the...
This study examined age-related change in executive function by using a Dutch translation of the Behavior Rating Inventory Executive Function (BRIEF; Gioia et al., 2000) that was applied to normative sample (age range 5-18 years). In addition, we reliability and factorial structures BRIEF. Results with respect age revealed decrease reported problems increasing age. On Regulation Index (BRI), 5- 8-year-olds showed significantly more than 9- 11-year-olds, as did 12- 14-year-olds compared 15-...
Abstract In this study, the development of concept generation and mental flexibility was investigated in 84 Australian children between 3 7 years age, using Object Classification Task for Children (OCTC), a newly developed executive function test use with young children. On task, which adapted from Concept Generation Test (Levine, Stuss, & Milberg, 1995) (Jacobs, Anderson, Harvey, 2001), were asked to categorize 6 plastic toys according predetermined groupings (i.e., color, size, function)....
Abstract.

Summary Aims To assess the validity of Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) as a screening tool for detecting ‘at risk’ emotional and behavioural maladjustment in children with diabetes, using Behaviour Assessment System Children (BASC) gold standard measure. Methods CHQ BASC were administered to 103 parents Type 1 aged 7–12 years. Sub‐scales two measures compared Pearson's bivariate correlations. sensitivity specificity cut‐points optimized against borderline category receiver operating...
