High levels of physical activity and reduced sedentary time may benefit execution function development, although prior research has yielded mixed findings. Studying executive functions through both neurophysiological and behavioral measures provides a more comprehensive view of their relationship with physical activity and sedentary time, yet this approach remains underexplored in young children. Thus, this cross-sectional study aimed to explore these associations using a multi-methodological approach. Eighteen children (Mage = 6.75, SD = 0.60, 50% girls) participated. Executive functions were assessed behaviorally (inhibition+switching and working memory with computerized tests) and neuroelectrically (event-related potential EEG paradigm) in early childhood education settings. Physical activity and sedentary time were measured using hip-worn accelerometers. Associations were examined using linear regression. The results showed that faster response times in inhibition+switching task were associated with larger novelty P3 amplitudes (β = -.54, p < .05). Moderate and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were associated with increased novelty P3 amplitude (β = .72, p < .01; β = .56, p < .05) and longer peak latency (β = .59, p < .05; β = .53, p < .05), while light physical activity was associated with smaller amplitude (β = -.64, p < .05). Sedentary time was associated with shorter latency (β = -.57, p < .05). No associations between physical activity or sedentary time and behavioral measures of executive functions were found. The findings of this pilot study suggest that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity may support neurocognitive processes in early childhood.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-30"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144149371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty-eight children born before 33 weeks of gestation and twenty-seven children born full-term received a diffusion weighted MRI scan and completed a standardized mathematics test at age 5 and again at age 7.

Post-hoc analyses of these effects revealed a positive association of FA in these tracts with mathematical skills in the full-term group, while this association was absent or negative in the preterm group. These differences may reflect adaptive processes following preterm birth and the recruitment of alternative pathways during mathematical problem-solving.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144118944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a retrospective observational study of 197 patients with cCHD (age 5-18 years) who attended a neuropsychological evaluation through the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Program. Medical history and social determinants of health (SDOH), measured by the Childhood Opportunity Index (COI 3.0), were obtained via chart review. COI was a significant predictor of school-age IQ and EF. Seizure history and genetic condition were predictors of IQ; inclusion of COI improved the model, predicting an additional 14% of the variance. The Education subdomain of COI, reflecting neighborhood-level educational resources, drove this effect. Aortic obstruction and seizure history were significant predictors of parent-reported EF; inclusion of COI provided modest improvement. Only COI was identified as a predictor of performance-based EF. Social determinants of health are important predictors of school-age functioning in children with cCHD, and efforts to promote positive neurodevelopmental outcomes in this population must consider SDOH. IQ at school-age is related to neighborhood educational resources. This suggests that enhancing educational opportunities in patients with cCHD in lower-resourced communities may promote positive neurodevelopment and reduce disparities.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144076168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of mathematical skills is influenced by various cognitive factors, with executive functions (EF) playing a central role. EF, which encompasses working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility, is critical for supporting complex cognitive processes required for problem-solving and mathematical reasoning. Research consistently shows that children with stronger EF tend to achieve better academic outcomes, including in mathematics. The goal of the present study was to examine the relationships between the global EF and its three core components - working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility - and their impact on mathematics achievement. The sample for this study consisted of 180 children, aged 8-11 years (mean age: 9.6, SD: 1.0 year; 83 girls, 97 boys). EF was assessed using the Yellow-Red test, while mathematics achievement was evaluated based on teachers' evaluations of the child's mathematics performance. The results indicated a statistically significant effect of global EF and its three components on mathematics achievement. Given the potential malleability of EFs, we conclude with recommendations for strategies to enhance EF development at an early school age.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"635-648"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142495997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The favorable profile group had significantly better neurodevelopmental outcome, better family functioning, and better parental mental health compared to the vulnerable profile group. Clinical factors were not significantly associated with profile group. The favorable profile group reported significantly better QoL and resilience and had larger total brain volumes.
