“…Some studies demonstrated that children at risk (i.e., children from low-income families, with psychopathology traits, born preterm) may benefit particularly from EF programs, since improvement in EFs may lead to better academic performance (Diamond and Lee, 2011) and generally to better adaptation, leveling the playing field and reducing the achievement gap (St. John et al, 2019). Given the relevance of EFs in human life, it could be useful to also sustain and enhance the development of these skills in typically developing preschoolers.…”

“…Suboptimal nutrition and inadequate opportunities for early learning, both of which factors are inversely linked to socioeconomic status (SES), pose specific and significant risks to poor health, wellbeing, and developmental outcomes [77,150,151,152]. SES refers to a complex, multidimensional construct that reflects financial resources and capital, with the most common indicators of SES being household income, parental education, and parental occupation [153,154,155]. Because SES has documented links to nearly every imaginable aspect of child development, considering its role in child learning and nutrition is critical.…”

“…This makes us reconsider the moment at which the influence of the ESCS begins to determine results in school effectiveness [2,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Performance at these ages could be explained more by individual characteristics, such as differences in executive functions [57][58][59][60][61][62] than by context. Although these results could be evaluated as positive, since it is not contextual factors that determine performance at early ages of schooling, they do invite reflection on the factors that could affect performance at these ages and when contextual factors begin to gain importance.…”
