How is musical expertise related to executive functions? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Is there an association between frequency of home mathematical activities (HMA) and children’s mathematical outcomes? Data harmonization and secondary analyses of U.K.-based data sets
Early mathematical skills lay an important foundation for later academic success. Substantial variation in mathematical skills can be observed in young children, and these differences have been related to family socioeconomic circumstances (SEC). The type and frequency with which parents engage in home mathematical activities (HMAs) with their children have been suggested as a key mechanism explaining inequalities in early mathematical skills; th…
Do home mathematical activities relate to early mathematical skills? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Children's foundational mathematical skills are critical for future academic attainment. While home mathematical activities (HMAs) have been proposed to support these skills, the extent to which engaging in them supports mathematical skills remains unclear. This preregistered systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis identified 351 effect sizes from 72 samples in 20 countries, exploring the relation between frequency of HMAs and mathematical…
How do socioeconomic attainment gaps in early mathematical ability arise
Socioeconomic attainment gaps in mathematical ability are evident before children begin school, and widen over time. Little is known about why early attainment gaps emerge. Two cross-sectional correlational studies were conducted in 2018–2019 with socioeconomically diverse preschoolers, to explore four factors that might explain why attainment gaps arise: working memory, inhibitory control, verbal ability, and frequency of home mathematical activ…
Can We Boost Preschoolers’ Inhibitory Performance Just by Changing the Way They Respond
Changing the way children make their response appears to sometimes, but not always, boost their inhibitory control—though interpreting existing findings is hampered by inconsistent methods and results. This study investigated the effects of delaying, and changing, the means of responding. Ninety-six preschoolers (Mage 46 months) completed tasks assessing inhibitory control, counterfactual reasoning, strategic reasoning, and false belief understan…
The Role of Executive Functions in Socioeconomic Attainment Gaps
The socioeconomic attainment gap in mathematics starts early and increases over time. This study aimed to examine why this gap exists. Four-year-olds from diverse backgrounds were randomly allocated to a brief intervention designed to improve executive functions (N = 87) or to an active control group (N = 88). The study was preregistered and followed CONSORT guidelines. Executive functions and mathematical skills were measured at baseline, 1 week…
Causality influences children’s and adults’ experience of temporal order
Although it has long been known that time is a cue to causation, recent work with adults has demonstrated that causality can also influence the experience of time. In causal reordering (Bechlivanidis & Lagnado, 2013, 2016) adults tend to report the causally consistent order of events rather than the correct temporal order. However, the effect has yet to be demonstrated in children. Across four preregistered experiments, 4- to 10-year-old children…
Women’s participation in sport
This article explores the right under Article 13(c) of CEDAW of women to participate in sport on an equal basis with men. As this right has largely been neglected in the international legal sphere, the article draws on feminist scholarship in order to unpack the right and analyse its usefulness and weaknesses. In particular, the limitations of terms such as ‘women’ and ‘equality’ in the current international legal climate are contemplated, as wel…
