  • Integrating attention, working memory, and word learning in a dynamic field theory of executive function development

    Open AccessJohn P Spencer, Aaron T Buss et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Review2025

    Presents a neural theory of executive function (EF) that integrates attention, working memory, and word learning processes. • Captures data from canonical EF and word learning tasks. • Provides a framework for understanding how EF emerges from component processes that themselves develop. Executive functions (EFs) are core cognitive abilities that enable self-control and flexibility. EFs undergo transformational changes between 3 to 5 years of age…

    Open AccessJohn P Spencer, Eleanor JohnsARTICLEHuman Development2024

    We discuss the four chapters in this special issue, focusing on three key questions: (1) what developmental theories are being used across chapters; (2) what neuroscience methods are being used; and (3) how are these integrated?
