有证据表明，文化体验和学习多种语言对儿童执行功能（EF）的发展有可衡量的影响。然而，双语和文化如何对观察到的效果产生确切的影响仍然没有定论。本研究旨在探讨这些因素如何塑造早期EF结构的发展纵向，单语和双语儿童在3岁，3年半和4年，与一组EF任务，是唯一相关的双语和文化习俗的影响。我们假设双语和文化背景的影响（即，东部）是基于不同的，但相关的，与不同的EF结构相关的认知控制过程。结果显示，一个显着的双语影响测量选择性注意，切换和抑制的认知控制过程，而文化的影响是最明显的行为调节/反应抑制。双语和文化经验对个人的EF结构跨越发展的贡献进行了讨论。
Evidence suggests that cultural experiences and learning multiple languages have measurable effects on children's development of executive function (EF). However, the precise impact of how bilingualism and culture contribute to observed effects remains inconclusive. The present study aims to investigate how these factors shape the development of early EF constructs longitudinally, between monolingual and bilingual children at ages 3, 3½ and 4 years, with a set of EF tasks that are uniquely relevant to the effects of bilingualism and cultural practices. We hypothesize that the effects of bilingualism and cultural backgrounds (i.e., Eastern) are based on different, though related, cognitive control processes associated with different EF constructs. Results revealed a significant bilingualism effect on cognitive control processes measuring selective attention, switching, and inhibition; while an effect of culture was most pronounced on behavioral regulation/response inhibition. Contributions of bilingualism and cultural experiences on individual EF constructs across development are discussed.
