Executive functions and school achievement
BACKGROUND: Executive functions (EFs) are critical in school and closely linked to academic achievement and learning-related behaviours (LRBs). LRBs encompass the ability to adapt to school demands, including concentration, adherence to rules, and autonomy. AIMS: This correlational study aimed to examine the mediating role of LRB in the association between EF and academic achievement in the first year of primary school. SAMPLE AND METHOD: Ninety-…
Improving executive functions at school. Integrating metacognitive exercise in class and computerized training at home to ensure training intensity and generalization. A feasibility pilot study
Previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of executive functions (EFs) training, both in computer‐based and school‐based formats. However, there is limited research on the combined effects of these training modalities. This study aims to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an EFs training programme for primary school children. The programme includes computerized training sessions for home use and school activities with m…
Difficulties of Young Adults With Dyslexia in Reading and Writing Numbers
Letters and numbers are different domains, and their differentiation increases with schooling. It has nonetheless been argued that reading alphabetic and numerical materials partly involves the same processes, even in adults. Whether individuals with dyslexia have difficulty reading and writing numbers remains to be established. This study examined this issue in a group of 30 young adults with a diagnosis of dyslexia, without any concurrent speci…
Learning a new geometric concept
It has been suggested that not only domain-specific factors but also working memory (WM) may play a crucial role in mathematical learning included Geometry, but the issue has not been deeply explored. In the present study, we examined the role of domain-specific factors and of verbal versus visuospatial WM on geometric learning of a new geometrical figure (trapezoid), never presented previously by the teachers participating to the study, after a …
