Shifting ability predicts math and reading performance in children: A meta-analytical study
Abstrak
Abstract Empirical evidence on the association between the shifting component of executive functioning and academic performance is equivocal. In two meta-analyses children's shifting ability is examined in relation to their performance in math ( k = 18, N = 2330) and reading ( k = 16, N = 2266). Shifting ability was significantly and equally associated with performance in both math ( r = .26, 95% CI = .15–.35) and reading ( r = .21, 95% CI = .11–.31). Intelligence was found to show stronger associations with math and reading performance than shifting ability. We conclude that the links between shifting ability, academic skills, and intelligence are domain-general.
