Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

500
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...

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

264
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

441
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

931
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Executive functions (EF) are crucial for academic success and self-regulation.
  • Promoting EF in school-aged children and adolescents is a key developmental goal.
  • A comprehensive map of current EF interventions in educational settings is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically map interventions designed to enhance executive functions in children and adolescents within school contexts.
  • To identify the types, characteristics, and frequency of different EF interventions used in educational settings.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review methodology was employed.
  • Systematic literature searches were conducted across eight major academic databases.
  • 122 studies, identifying 133 interventions (108 distinct), were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Most interventions targeted typically developing children and adolescents.
  • Interventions were predominantly individual, often incorporating playful or computerized elements.
  • The most frequent interventions included Cogmed, Working Memory Training, Carribean Quest Game, and Captain's Log.
  • The majority of interventions focused on a single EF component, with working memory being the most targeted.

Conclusions:

  • EF interventions in schools represent a significant strategy for skill promotion and difficulty prevention.
  • These interventions can capitalize on the critical developmental window for EF and self-regulation in childhood and adolescence.
  • Findings highlight evolving approaches to EF promotion within educational contexts.
