Information Processing Approach

171
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

317
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Cognitive Development
  • Cross-Cultural Psychology

Background:

  • Cross-site comparisons suggest East Asian children outperform others on executive function (EF) tests.
  • Interpreting these differences is challenging due to reliance on school-based testing and lack of measurement invariance studies.
  • Existing research has not adequately addressed cross-cultural measurement invariance in executive function assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate executive function (EF) performance and behavioral adjustment in children across different cultural settings.
  • To address gaps in cross-site measurement invariance for executive function (EF) assessments.
  • To examine the relationship between executive function (EF) and behavioral self-regulation across diverse cultural contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Remote, home-based assessments of executive function (EF) were conducted with 1002 children (aged ~5 years) from England, Hong Kong, and mainland China.
  • Parental ratings of externalizing and internalizing adjustment problems were collected.
  • Data were collected between June 2021 and December 2022.

Main Results:

  • Statistical models established partial scalar invariance, indicating measurement consistency across sites.
  • No significant differences in executive function (EF) performance were found between the study sites.
  • Executive function (EF) task performance demonstrated a consistent inverse association with parent-rated externalizing problems across all sites.

Conclusions:

  • The findings support the universal importance of executive function (EF) for behavioral self-regulation.
  • Executive function (EF) plays a crucial role in managing externalizing behaviors, irrespective of cultural background.
  • Home-based assessments and cross-site measurement invariance analyses provide a more nuanced understanding of executive function (EF) across cultures.
