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.

摘要

学前阶段执行功能的变化被认为在认知和社会发展中起着关键作用，但关于这些变化测量的全面数据和建议却很缺乏。分析并报告了602名学龄前儿童在几项执行功能任务上的表现，内容包括：（a）表现的年龄趋势，以及（b）2岁、3岁、4岁和5至6岁的任务难度量表。这一分析为执行功能发展理论提供了依据，并为研究人员在任务选择和设计方面提供了基于证据的指导。
