IntroductionExecutive functions (EFs) are linked to positive outcomes across the lifespan.Yet, methodological challenges have prevented precise understanding of the developmental trajectory of their organization.MethodsWe introduce novel methods to address challenges for both measuring and modeling The impact of early detection and intervention on congenital heart defects in infants and children: a systematic review EFs using an accelerated longitudinal design with a large, diverse sample of students in middle childhood (N = 1,286; ages 8 to 14).We used eight adaptive assessments hypothesized to measure three EFs, working memory, context monitoring, and interference resolution.
We deployed adaptive assessments to equate EF Colloidal HgTe Quantum Dot/Graphene Phototransistor with a Spectral Sensitivity Beyond 3 µm challenge across ages and a data-driven, network analytic approach to reveal the evolving diversity of EFs while simultaneously accounting for their unity.Results and discussionUsing this methodological paradigm shift brought new precision and clarity to the development of these EFs, showing these eight tasks are organized into three stable components by age 10, but refinement of composition of these components continues through at least age 14.
