1 The Context and Purpose of Executive Function Assessments: Beyond the Tripartite Model Janina Eberhart & Sara Baker Neuroscience & Education Conference 4 th June 2018
2 Executive Function (EF) EF is important for planning, problem-solving, goal-directed behaviour and organizing of information (Welsh, Pennington, & Groisser, 1991) EF includes working memory, inhibitory control and shifting (Miyake et al., 2000) -> tripartite model Associated with school readiness, academic achievement and social-emotional behaviour (Blair, 2002, Blair & Razza, 2007, Riggs et al., 2006)
3 Approaches to measure EF Lab-based assessments administered in highly standardized conditions lab-based tasks far removed from real world (Diamond, 2013) Parent or teacher reports more global measure based on a variety of experiences with child subjective Observations objective and ecologically valid time consuming
4 Lab-based assessments <.30 (Toplak et al., 2013)? Parent or teacher reports? Observations
5 Why is this relevant? EF is en vogue -> comprehensive curricula developed to enhance EF Evidence of studies rely mostly on lab-based EF assessments How are lab-based EF related to applied EF? Applied EF particularly important for practitioners in a school context
6 Research Questions? Lab-based assessments? Teacher reports? Observations
7 Sample: Methods 39 Reception children (53.8% girls) from three different schools in Cambridgeshire and Greater London 4-5 years old (M = 5.13 years) Schools primarily low SES (pupil premium: 8.9%, 38.3%, 49.76%*) Procedure: Children s EF skills measured with lab-based measures Teachers completed an online questionnaire on children s school readiness Children videoed in their naturalistic classroom environment * national average is 14%
8 Lab-based EF measures: Spin the Pots (Diamond et al., 1997) WM Day and Night (Gerstadt et al., 1994) inhibitory control Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS) (Zelazo, 2006) shifting Design Fluency (Korkman et al., 2007) self-directed EF Covariates: Measures Ravens (Raven et al., 1998) general ability Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) (Wechsler, 2012) - receptive vocabulary
9 Measures Observations: Regulation-Related Skills Measure (RRSM) (McCoy et al., 2017) 4 segments: (1) teacher-led activity (2) transition after teacher-led activity (3) child-led activity (4) transition after child-led activity Video coding on 16 items e.g. children s ability to control physical movements, to pay attention, to wait, to ignore distraction, and to inhibit impulsive behavior Last 5 min of a teacher-led and child-led activity Inter-rater agreement (Cohen s Kappa: teacher-led: k =.73; child-led: k =.81)
10 Measures Teacher report: Brief Early Skills and Support Index (BESSI) (Hughes et al., 2015): 30 items on factors that support school readiness 4 subscales: Behavioural Adjustment Language & Cognition Daily Living Skills Family Support
11 Behavioural Adjustment
12 Results Table 1 Means, Range and Standard Deviation of the EF tasks, the covariates, the RRSM, and the BESSI Behavioural Adjustment scale. Variables N Min Max Mean SD Spin the Pots (WM) DCCS (shifting) Day and Night (inhibitory control) Design Fluency (self-directed EF) Observed EF - Teacher-led Observed EF - Child-led BESSI Behavioural Adjustment Ravens (general ability) WPPSI - Receptive vocabulary
13 Results Table 2 Partial correlations between the EF tasks, the RRSM, and the BESSI Behavioural Adjustment scale, while controlling for Ravens, WPPSI receptive vocabulary and age in months. Variables Spin the Pots (WM) 2. DCCS (shifting) Day and Night (inhibitory control) 0.40* Design Fluency (self-directed EF) 0.44* Observed EF Teacher-led Observed EF Child-led Behavioural Adjustment (BESSI) * 0.24 Note: *p <.05, **p <.001
14 Conclusion Lab-based assessments Teacher reports Observations
15 Conclusion Jones et al., 2017
16 Conclusion Different measurement approaches might capture different aspects of EF Measurement approach should be carefully chosen -> go beyond the tripartite model Evidence for programs or interventions should be critically considered We need : more research on the relationship between simple and complex skills more research on lab-based EF and applied EF Ecologically valid measures
