Gordon, R., Smith-Spark, J. H., Newton, E. J. & Henry, L. ORCID: 0000-0001-5422-4358 (2018). Executive Function and Academic Achievement in Primary School Children: The Use of Task-Related Processing Speed. Frontiers in Psychology, 9(APR), doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00582

Abstract

This article argues that individual differences in processing speed are important in the relationship between executive function (EF) and academic achievement in primary school children. It proposes that processing times within EF tasks can be used to predict academic attainment and aid in the development of intervention programmes.
