Journal ArticleDOI
Training and transfer effects of executive functions in preschool children.
TL;DR: The results suggest that working memory training can have significant effects also among preschool children and the finding that inhibition could not be improved by either one of the two training programs might be due to the particular training program used in the present study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple deficits in ADHD : executive dysfunction, delay aversion, reaction time variability, and emotional deficits
TL;DR: The current study supports the view of ADHD as a heterogeneous disorder related to multiple neuropsychological deficits and emotional functioning appears to be an area of importance for ADHD that needs to be incorporated into future theoretical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Executive Functioning and Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder on Children's Peer Relations and School Performance
TL;DR: Interaction effects between ADHD and EF and between EF and gender were found: At high levels of symptoms of inattention, the poorer the EF, the greater the need for special education.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gains in fluid intelligence after training non-verbal reasoning in 4-year-old children: a controlled, randomized study

TL;DR: This paper showed that it is possible to improve fluid intelligence (Gf) with training, which could have implications for early interventions in children, and showed that the non-verbal reasoning training group improved significantly on Gf when analysed as a latent variable of several reasoning tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do delay aversion and executive function deficits make distinct contributions to the functional impact of ADHD symptoms? A study of early academic skill deficits.
TL;DR: The findings of the present study provide further support for the notion that EF deficits and delay aversion are two possible pathways to ADHD and indicate that the two processes of the dual-pathway model can also be differentiated in terms of their effect on functional impairments associated with ADHD.
