Abstract:

Childhood overweight and obesity have experienced epidemic growth in recent years. Excessive adiposity presents challenges to orthopedic, neurological, pulmonary, gastroenterological, endocrinal, and social development. Thus, the time course of weight development in early childhood is of special public health concern. A major goal of childhood obesity research is to identify mechanisms contributing to excess weight gain. In infancy, executive function has been identified as one possible contributor. Unfortunately, no studies have yet examined infant obesity risk with respect to executive funct

Abstract:

Research indicates that executive functioning is a multidimensional construct in school-age children (Korkman, Kemp, & Kirk, 2001; Welsh & Pennington, 1988). Executive dysfunction is primarily associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; Barkley, 2003). This association is because of a `core' deficit in inhibitory control found in ADHD-Combined Type (ADHD-C; Barkley, 1997); however, inhibitory control is only one component of executive functioning. Children with dyslexia are thought to demonstrate a `core' deficit in phonological awareness (Wagner & Torgesen, 1987). Howev

Abstract:

Relatively few studies have investigated the relationship between executive functioning (EF) and language development, and even fewer have researched hot and cool EF as a predictor language development. This study is an investigation into the relationship between EF and language development in preschool aged children. More specifically, the ability for hot or cool EF to predict language, this will be the focus of the study. It was found that hot EF was a better predictor of language development in preschool aged children.

The current research explored the thesis that cognitive self-recognition might have an executive function in 3- and 4-year-olds. Although it is well established that children recognise themselves in mirrors by the end of infancy, the cognitive and behavioural impact of this capacity has yet to be elucidated. Experiments 1 to 6 showed that preschool children could form and maintain a cognitive link between the self and external stimuli, as a result of which, self-referent stimuli were given mnemonic priority. Experiments 4 to 8 indicated that in tasks involving self-recognition, 3- and 4-year-o

Children from non-English-speaking homes often lag behind their English speaking peers academically. However, people who speak two languages often have better executive functioning skills than people who speak only one language.

The relation between bilingualism and executive function may be due to how two languages are processed in the brain. However, it is unclear if more balanced bilinguals experience larger gains in executive function than people who are less balanced. Children from low-incom

Abstract:

Les études des effets de l’activité physique sur la cognition humaine et animale ne permettent pas de clarifier si ces effets sont spécifiques au type d’exercice pratiqué et si les gains cognitifs pour un cerveau en développement sont globaux ou exclusifs à certaines fonctions cognitives. Considérant le circuit nerveux entre le cervelet et le cortex préfrontal dorsolatéral, nous croyons qu’un entraînement neuromoteur stimulant les fonctions motrices du cervelet améliorera les fonctions exécutives associées au cortex préfrontal. Comme l’entraînement aérobie a affecté positivement différentes fo

Abstract:

Bien qu’il y ait de plus en plus d’études sur le soutien maternel à l’autonomie, de nombreuses questions restent à éclaircir dans le domaine. Notamment, on en sait très peu sur ses relations avec le développement cognitif de l’enfant, sa stabilité temporelle et les antécédents de celle-ci. La thèse est composée de trois articles empiriques. Le premier explore le rôle médiateur du langage dans la relation entre le soutien maternel à l'autonomie et les fonctions exécutives de l'enfant. Le deuxième examine la stabilité relative et absolue du soutien maternel à l'autonomie entre la petite enfance
