Predicting the Development of Executive Functions in Preschool Age
This study investigates the relationship between language, motor, and social–relational development in early childhood and the development of executive functions in a sample of 110 preschoolers (M = 57 months, SD = 9.8; 47.3% male, 52.7% female). Through the administration of the Preschool Observation of Development and Self-Regulation questionnaire to parents, information about motor, language, and socio-relational skills at 6–36 months and 37–7…
Beyond the Overlap
Background/Objectives : Executive function (EF) difficulties are increasingly recognized as closely linked to ADHD, particularly when assessed via rating scales. Methods : The present study investigated the nature of these associations, using the Conners 3 Rating Scales to assess ADHD symptoms and the Executive Function Questionnaire (EFQU) to assess EF impairments, in a sample of 1068 children (40.8% males, 38.8% females) aged 7-14 years (M = 10…
Teachers' report of sense of time in kindergarten predicts children's time‐processing skills in first grade
The main aim of this longitudinal study was to evaluate if a questionnaire measuring the sense of time, filled in by teachers and parents in the last year of kindergarten, was able to predict children's time‐processing skills at the end of 1st grade. The sample included 131 children (initial mean age = 4.77 ± 0.29 years) tested three times in a 2‐year period with tasks of time reproduction, time discrimination, and comparison of durations. One of…
Comparing Executive Functions in Children and Adolescents with Autism and ADHD—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Two neurodevelopmental conditions, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), have been associated with executive function (EF) impairments but the specificity of their impairments is still controversial. The present meta-analysis aimed to identify the differences in EF profiles of ASD, ADHD, and ASD+ADHD in relation to a control group of individuals with typical development (TD) and to understand whether …
Preschool Executive Functioning and Child Behavior
Preschool age is a golden period for the emergence of executive functions (EFs) that, in turn, predict learning and adaptive behavior throughout all life. The study was aimed to identify which EFs measures significantly explained the learning prerequisites and the mediation role of self-regulatory and executive behavior recorded in structured or free settings. One hundred and twenty-seven preschoolers were remotely assessed by standardized tests …
Second-language learning difficulties in Italian children with reading difficulties
BackgroundChildren with dyslexia often show second-language reading and writing difficulties, but the cognitive mechanisms connected to this impairment need to be clarified.AimsThe present study examined the neuropsychological mechanisms underlying learning English as a foreign language in 4th- to the 8th-grade Italian students showing reading difficulties (RD) or typical development (TD). For this purpose, screening involving 901 students was ca…
The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-Parents for Italian School-Aged Children
Reading under the skin
Cognitive Profiles of Italian Children With Developmental Dyslexia
The aim of this study was to investigate verbal and nonverbal cognitive deficits in Italian students with developmental dyslexia. The performances of 32 dyslexic students, 64 age‐matched typically reading controls, and 64 reading age–matched controls were compared on tests of lexical knowledge, phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, verbal short‐term memory, visual search, verbal–visual recall, and visuospatial attention. Considering t…
