Executive Functions in Children's Everyday Lives captures the
diversity and complexity of the executive system that underlies
children's everyday life experiences. Acquisition of executive
functions, such as interpreting communication cues and the
perspectives of others, is foundational to and a function of
children's early social and communicative competencies. From the
soccer field to the classroom, executive functions support
children's strategic thinking and control of their environment.
Knowing about executive functions and how this system of cognitive
resources emerges in young children is important in understanding
children's development. Recent research points to the importance of
also considering environmental influences on the executive system.
This book is unique in its focus on how experiences in children's
early lives influence and are influenced by executive functions.
Viewing executive functions through this broad lens is critical for
professionals who intervene when children's access to executive
functions is less than optimal. This book addresses a wide range of
topics, including the neurological basis of executive functions in
young children, the assessment of children's executive functions,
theoretical and historical conceptions of executive functions, the
relations between executive functions and theory of mind,
multilingualism, early school transitions, and the relationship of
executive functions to Autism and ADHD. This volume will be useful
to professionals in applied psychology, undergraduate and graduate
students, and social science and applied researchers.
