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.'
