Developmentally Sensitive Measures of Executive Function in Preschool Children
Abstract
Changes in executive functioning in the preschool years are recognized as playing a critical role in cognitive and social development, yet comprehensive data and recommendations about measurement of these changes are lacking. The performance of 602 preschool children on several executive function tasks was analyzed and reported as (a) age trends in performance and (b) task difficulty scales at 2, 3, 4, and 5 to 6 years of age. This analysis informs theories of executive function development and offers researchers an evidence-based guide to task selection and design.

“This overlap was driven by three tasks that met our definition of EF and have explicitly been defined as such by leaders in the field: the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulder task (McClelland et al., 2014), the Kansas ReflectionImpulsivity Scale for Preschoolers (KRISP; Carlson, 2005), and the Preschool Self-Regulation Assessment (PSRA), which includes peg/pencil tapping and other tasks that require children”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
