Summary
Schroeder and Kelley used indexes and surveys completed by parents of school-aged children without an identified developmental, learning, or behavioral/cognitive disorder to determine the associations between family environments and parenting practices with specific executive functions in the children. Executive functions are higher level cognitive processes used for the coordination of planning, use of working memory, and execution of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.
