An Investigation of Hand Use in Preschool Children: Vocabulary and Social Competence Predict Cognitive Development
Previous research indicates that strong right-hand preference predicts performance in other skills, such as vocabulary size and executive function (EF). The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between these functions, as well as social competence (SC), in a sample of preschool children. We used parent questionnaires and/or tabletop assessments to measure hand preference, fine motor skills, language, EF, and SC in 81 three- to fiv…
Building executive function in pre-school children through play: A Curriculum
Executive function (EF) is a term that defines a group of cognitive abilities fundamental to goal-directed behaviour. EF is a strong predictor of both academic and life success. Therefore, it is important to develop EFs in the early years of life. We created a curriculum of games (BBF) for preschool children that focused on improving EFs. The purpose of the study was to assess the curriculum's impact. We asked the parents of 86 children to respon…

Childhood Poverty and Brain Development
Childhood poverty is a major health problem worldwide. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), nearly 50 million children live below the national poverty level in industrial countries. The numbers would be orders of magnitude greater in developing countries. Living in poverty places children at high risk for many health conditions later in life. Perhaps the biggest problem is that a low socioeconomic status…
