Parent-reported infant emotion regulation and executive functions predict preschool executive function skills
Recent research has established that it is feasible to assess executive function (EF) skills in infancy and toddlerhood via parental report using the Early Executive Functions Questionnaire (EEFQ; Hendry & Holmboe, 2021). However, little is known about the predictiveness of early-emerging regulatory and cognitive aspects of parent-reported EFs to later EF outcomes. We collected longitudinal EEFQ data from 178 U.K. children (85% White) with predom…
Development and validation of the Early Executive Functions Questionnaire
Executive functions (EFs) enable us to control our attention and behavior in order to set and work toward goals. Strong EF skills are linked to better academic performance, and greater health, wealth, and happiness in later life. Research into EF development has been hampered by a lack of scalable measures suitable for infancy through to toddlerhood. The 31‐item Early Executive Functions Questionnaire (EEFQ) complements temperament measures by ta…
Impact of maternal depressive symptoms on the development of infant temperament
Maternal depression is associated with a range of child development outcomes, including difficult temperament. This longitudinal study investigated whether depressive symptoms (DS) that mothers experience after childbirth predict infant negative affect (NA), as well as potential effects of infant NA on maternal DS, across the first year of life. In the study ( N = 63), questionnaires (the Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition, and the Infant B…
Neural substrates of early executive function development
In the last decade, advances in neuroimaging technologies have given rise to a large number of research studies that investigate the neural underpinnings of executive function (EF). EF has long been associated with the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and involves both a unified, general element, as well as the distinct, separable elements of working memory, inhibitory control and set shifting. We will highlight the value of utilising advances in neuroima…
Polymorphisms in dopamine system genes are associated with individual differences in attention in infancy
Knowledge about the functional status of the frontal cortex in infancy is limited. This study investigated the effects of polymorphisms in four dopamine system genes on performance in a task developed to assess such functioning, the Freeze-Frame task, at 9 months of age. Polymorphisms in the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) genes are likely to impact directly on the functioning of the frontal cortex, whereas…
