Better together: Novel methods for measuring and modeling development of executive function diversity while accounting for unity

Abstract: Executive functions (EFs) are linked to positive outcomes across the lifespan. Yet, methodological challenges have prevented precise understanding of the developmental trajectory of their organization. We introduce novel methods to address challenges for both measuring and modeling EFs using an accelerated longitudinal design with a large, diverse sample of students in middle childhood (N = 1,286; ages 8 to 14). We deployed adaptive assessments to equate EF challenge across ages and a data-driven, network anal… Show more

“…A total of 1,280 third-through eighth-grade children participated in the Project iLead study, which was a longitudinal study over two school years (2016-2017 and 2017-2018) that investigated EF development in elementary and middle school (Younger et al, 2021(Younger et al, , 2022. Participants were recruited from nine schools in northern California-seven public schools in one district (five elementary K-5; two middle 6-8), one parochial K-8 school, and one private K-8 school.…”

“…The interplay between EFs and whole number knowledge may cause the interference effects on fraction comparison to grow as well. To investigate these relations, we analyzed cross-sectional data from third, fifth, and seventh graders that were collected as part of a larger, longitudinal study (Younger et al, 2021(Younger et al, , 2022. This cross-sectional sample affords a view across the first 5 years of fraction instruction in the United States and allows us to investigate how EFs and whole number knowledge relate to fraction comparison at three different stages in the development of these skills.…”
