Despite rapidly growing research on parental influences on children's executive function (EF), the uniqueness and specificity of parental predictors and links between adult EF and parenting remain unexamined. This 13-month longitudinal study of 117 parent-child dyads (60 boys; M at Time 1 = 3.94 years, SD = 0.53) included detailed observational coding of parent-child interactions and assessed adult and child EF and child verbal ability (VA). Supporting a differentiated view of parental influence, negative parent-child interactions and parental scaffolding showed unique and specific associations with child EF, whereas the home learning environment and parental language measures showed global associations with children's EF and VA.
尽管关于父母对儿童执行功能（EF）影响的研究迅速增加，但父母的预测因素的独特性和特异性以及成人 EF 和育儿之间的联系仍未得到检验。本研究对 117 对亲子进行了为期 13 个月的纵向研究（60 名男孩；第一次测量时的平均年龄为 3.94 岁，标准差为 0.53），包括对亲子互动的详细观察性编码，并评估了成人和儿童的 EF 和儿童的言语能力（VA）。支持父母影响的差异化观点，负面的亲子互动和父母的指导与儿童的 EF 具有独特和特定的关联，而家庭学习环境和父母的语言措施与儿童的 EF 和 VA 具有总体关联。
