3-164 - Early Experience Effects on Executive Functioning

Sat, March 21, 1:55 to 3:25pm, Penn CC, Floor: 200 Level, Room 204A

Session Type: Paper Session

Integrative Statement

Early experience, particularly in the form of parental responsiveness, has been linked with children’s later executive functioning. In this symposium, a first paper will present evidence that low sensitivity/high intrusiveness is associated with poor executive functioning in a vulnerable population. The second paper will examine independent influences of mothers and fathers on executive functioning in preschool children. The third paper examined whether executive functioning mediated associations between sensitivity and attachment on later behavioral problems.
