Developmental trajectories in toddlers' self-restraint predict individual differences in executive functions 14 years later: A behavioral genetic analysis.
Abstract: We examined whether self-restraint in early childhood predicted individual differences in three executive functions (EFs; inhibiting prepotent responses, updating working memory, and shifting task sets) in late adolescence in a sample of ~950 twins. At ages 14, 20, 24, and 36 months, the children were shown an attractive toy and told not to touch it for 30 seconds. Latency to touch the toy increased with age, and latent class growth modeling distinguished two groups of children that differed in their latencies…

“…All other tasks yielded statistically significant factor loadings on the hypothesized latent constructs. Furthermore, both Updating and Shifting EF-related factors correlated significantly with the Inhibition factor ( r s ≥ .52, all p s < .05) but failed to correlate significantly with each other ( r = .102, p = .080), in clear contrast to results of previous work (Friedman et al, 2006, 2011; Miyake et al, 2000).…”

“…Because these analyses use only the EF data from Session 1, they are based on a sample of 484 participants. Consistent with previous work (e.g., Friedman et al, 2011), we find Common EF, Updating-specific, and Shifting-specific factors. Inspection of the fit statistics and modification indices suggested a residual correlation between antisaccade and spatial n -back.…”

“…We identified 5047 publications (4675 publications in databases and 372 publications in references). After duplicate removal and screening, 139 publications were included, containing data on 79 044 twin pairs (31 053 MZ and 47 991 DZ twins), 52 twin cohorts, 21 countries, and 6 continents between 1972 and 2020. The sample included 66 407 twin pairs from Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic countries (in Europe, North America, and Oceania; 84.01%) and 12 637 twin pairs from Africa, Asia, and South America (15.99%) (eResults, eFigures 2 and 3, and eTable 4 in the Supplement).…”
