abstract: 'Among the many factors contributing to the SES-achievement gap,
|
|
|
|
executive function (EF) skills have received a considerable amount of
|
|
|
|
attention, given their role in supporting academic skill development.
|
|
|
|
While recent work has demonstrated that global EF constructs mediate
|
|
|
|
SES-achievement relations, less attention has been paid to unpacking the
|
|
|
|
role of specific EF components in linking SES to achievement. Data from
|
|
|
|
the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (N = 1273)
|
|
|
|
were analyzed to assess direct and indirect associations between SES
|
|
|
|
indicators, preschool EF skills, and first-grade math and reading
|
|
|
|
achievement. Using path analysis, we found parent education and working
|
|
|
|
memory to be uniquely and most predictive of both achievement domains.
|
|
|
|
Further, after controlling for baseline academic skills, verbal ability,
|
|
|
|
and other child- and family-level covariates, only working memory
|
|
|
|
mediated the association between parent education and children''s math
|
|
|
|
achievement. These findings offer a comprehensive look at the specific
|
|
|
|
mechanisms through which socioeconomic disadvantage contributes to
|
|
|
|
children''s academic development and provide an initial step towards
|
|
|
|
generating more precise targets for policies and interventions aimed at
|
|
|
|
closing the achievement gap. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.'
