执行控制（EC）已获得越来越多的认可，在发展科学作为一个核心的结构，有助于解释规范的年龄相关的变化和个体差异的学习和行为。这种流行并非毫无根据，因为执行任务在预测一系列重要发展领域的个体差异方面具有实用性，包括内化和外化行为;心理理论;学术成就;情绪调节;和创造力，通常在延长的时间间隔内（Carlson & Moses，2001; Carlson & Wang，2007; Clark et al.，2010; Riggs，Jolley，& Simpson，2013; Welsh et al.，2010年）。尽管存在这些无处不在的关联，但该领域仍然没有就EC的定义达成共识。这种缺乏清晰度的情况在幼儿期尤为明显，因为从成人文学中衍生出来的理论模型可能无法充分反映迅速成熟的神经和认知系统的动态性质。在本书中，我们通过将双因素模型独特地应用于在学龄前年龄范围内收集的数据来应对这些挑战。双因素方法提供了一种创新的方法来解决EC研究中的一个核心测量问题：感兴趣的特定控制过程与基础刺激的固有混淆，
Executive control (EC) has gained increasing acceptance in developmental science as a central construct that helps to explain both normative age-related change and individual variation in learning and behavior. This popularity is not unfounded, given the utility of executive tasks in predicting individual differences across a range of important developmental domains, including internalizing and externalizing behavior; theory of mind; academic achievement; emotion regulation; and creativity, often over extended time intervals (Carlson & Moses, 2001; Carlson & Wang, 2007; Clark et al., 2010; Riggs, Jolley, & Simpson, 2013; Welsh et al., 2010). Despite these ubiquitous associations, consensus on the definition of EC continues to elude the field. This lack of clarity is especially evident for early childhood, where theoretical models derived from adult literature may not adequately reflect the dynamic nature of rapidly maturing neural and cognitive systems. In this volume, we tackled these challenges through the unique application of the bifactor model to data collected across the preschool age range. The bifactor approach provided an innovative means to address a central measurement issue in EC research: the inherent conflation of the specific control processes of interest with the foundational stimulus-and
