Abstract

This study examines the degree to which two middle childhood executive control aspects, working memory and combined inhibitory control/flexible shifting, predict adolescent substance use and externalizing and internalizing problems. Participants were 301 children (ages 3–6 years; 48.2% male) recruited from a Midwestern city in the United States and followed into adolescence (ages 14–18 years). Working memory had a statistically significant unadjusted association with externalizing problems (r = −.30, p = .003) in a confirmatory factor analysis. Neither factor significantly predicted any of the adolescent outcomes in a structural equation model that adjusted for each EC aspect, sociodemographic covariates, and middle childhood externalizing and internalizing problems. Stronger prediction of EC aspects might not emerge until they become more fully differentiated later in development.

童年中期执行控制方面与青少年药物使用以及外化和内化问题之间的关系。

本研究探讨了儿童中期执行控制的两个方面--工作记忆和联合抑制控制/灵活转移--在多大程度上可以预测青少年药物使用以及外化和内化问题。研究对象是从美国中西部城市招募的 301 名儿童（3-6 岁；48.2% 为男性），并对他们进行了青春期（14-18 岁）跟踪调查。在一项确认性因素分析中，工作记忆与外化问题有显著的统计学关联（r = -.30, p = .003）。在一个结构方程模型中，这两个因素都不能明显预测青少年的任何结果，该模型调整了EC的每个方面、社会人口协变量以及童年中期的外化和内化问题。在儿童发展的后期，EC 的各方面可能会变得更加分化，才会出现更强的预测能力。

期刊介绍： Multidisciplinary and international in scope, the Journal of Research on Adolescence (JRA) significantly advances knowledge in the field of adolescent research. Employing a diverse array of methodologies, this compelling journal publishes original research and integrative reviews of the highest level of scholarship. Featured studies include both quantitative and qualitative methodologies applied to cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development and behavior. Articles pertinent to the variety of developmental patterns inherent throughout adolescence are featured, including cross-national and cross-cultural studies. Attention is given to normative patterns of behavior as well as individual differences rooted in personal or social and cultural factors.
