Executive function and educational attainment of children in early school age

Summary/Abstract: Executive function and academic success were studied in children aged 7 and 8, in the first year of primary school. Two measurements of executive functions were made: cognitive flexibility and capacity for abstract thinking. Two tools were used for their measurement, one based on the WCST test and the other on DCCS. School attainment was measured from three perspectives. Parent perspective was measured by a questionnaire, students were interviewed and school grades were used as the third measure. Cognitive flexibility correlated with school success from each perspective, p < .05. However, capacity for abstract thinking correlated with school success only in the student perspective.
