本研究包括一个重复的衍生行为筛选儿童执行功能，纵向不变性分析，以评估测量的可靠性，随着时间的推移，和潜在的增长模型的4个执行功能：解决问题，注意力控制，行为控制，情绪控制。样本包括1，237名（52%为女性）6至11岁的参与者。参与者被纵向跟踪3年，有5个评估波，并在每个波招募新的参与者，以补偿损耗。正如预测的那样，4因素模型被成功复制，纵向不变性新得到证实。这些发现支持这个筛选器作为执行功能的可靠的童年措施，和潜在的增长模型确定的预测质量的性别和年龄的水平和这些结构的变化。
This study included a replicated derivation of a behavioral screener for executive functions among children, longitudinal invariance analyses to evaluate measurement reliability across time, and latent growth modeling of 4 executive functions: problem solving, attentional control, behavioral control, and emotional control. The sample included 1,237 (52% female) participants age 6 to 11 years. Participants were tracked longitudinally for 3 years with 5 assessment waves, and new participants were recruited at each wave to compensate for attrition. As predicted, the 4-factor model was successfully replicated, with longitudinal invariance newly confirmed. These findings support this screener as a reliable childhood measure for executive functions, and latent growth modeling identified predictive qualities of gender and age on levels and changes in these constructs.
