Predictors of early growth in academic achievement : the head-toes-knees-shoulders task

Creator:: McClelland, Megan M., Cameron, Claire E., Duncan, Robert, Bowles, Ryan P., Acock, Alan C., Miao, Alicia, and Pratt, Megan E.
Abstract:: Children’s behavioral self-regulation and executive function (EF; including attentional or cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control) are strong predictors of academic achievement.

Autonomy-supportive parenting and associations with child and parent executive function

Creator:: Distefano, Rebecca, Galinsky, Ellen, McClelland, Megan M., Zelazo, Philip David, and Carlson, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Autonomy-supportive parenting appears to play an important role in children's executive function (EF) development. However, few studies have accounted for parents' EF skills when examining the link between parenting and child EF in families from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. In the current study, parents and their 3- to 5-year-old children (N...

Effects of plant community characteristics on insect abundance : implications for sage-grouse brood-rearing habitat

Creator:: Ersch, Erica A.
Abstract:: A causative factor in declining greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations is reduced annual recruitment due to poor habitat quality. Sage-grouse population decline is concurrent with a decline in the extent and quality of the sagebrush (Artemisia sp.) biome. However, current research has shown a positive relationship between sage-grouse brood and...
