Embedding Executive Function Training into Early Literacy Instruction for Dual Language Learners: A Pilot Study

Abstract: Prior research indicates that training aspects of executive function (EF; e.g., working memory) does not generalize beyond tasks that are closely aligned with the training (e.g., Melby-Lervåg & Hulme, 2013). However, such evaluations of training EF to improve performance in related areas of cognitive development (e.g., academic skills) have not utilized EF training paradigms in the context of evidence-based academic skills instruction. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the pote… Show more

“…Embedding EF principles while training a specific academic ability (math, reading) was observed in math in Barnes' studies (Fuchs, Fuchs, Seethaler, & Barnes, 2020) as well as in RC methods in Peng's studies (Goodrich et al, 2021) and was found to be highly useful, especially with the debate of whether stand-alone interventions of working (Breznitz & Misra, 2003). The effect of the EF-based reading intervention training which includes EF elements such as speed of processing, inhibition, and working memory on neural circuits supporting visual and auditory modalities.…”

“…Embedding EF principles while training a specific academic ability (math, reading) was observed in math in Barnes' studies (Fuchs, Fuchs, Seethaler, & Barnes, 2020) as well as in RC methods in Peng's studies (Goodrich et al, 2021) and was found to be highly useful, especially with the debate of whether stand‐alone interventions of working memory training succeeded (Loosli, Buschkuehl, Perrig, & Jaeggi, 2012) or failed to show a transfer effect (Peng & Goodrich, 2020). Adding a short, focused working memory (Nevo & Breznitz, 2013) or short games for a variety of EF components (EF training) (Chuntonov & Breznitz, 2015) before the actual EF‐based reading training described in the current review was previously suggested in Hebrew‐speaking children.…”

“…However, although a number of EF intervention programs have been effective in producing small gains in children's EF development during preschool (see Mattera et al, 2021 for review), it is unclear whether these types of programs can place children on different EF or math trajectories (Mattera et al, 2021;Nesbitt & Farran, 2021), or whether gains in EF or math could be sustained across development (see Bailey et al, 2020 for commentary on Fade-out effects). Moreover, given that prior research suggests that interventions targeting EF skills do not necessarily generalize to domain specific skills such as academic content knowledge (Goodrich et al, 2021;Melby-Lervåg & Hulme, 2013), whether preschool EF programs can produce meaningful changes in children's math achievement across elementary school remains an open question.…”
