Parental socioeconomic status weakly predicts specific cognitive and academic skills beyond general cognitive ability Open
Parental socioeconomic status (SES) is a well‐established predictor of children's neurocognitive development. Several theories propose that specific cognitive skills are particularly vulnerable. However, this can be challenging to test, be…

Mapping neurodevelopmental diversity in executive function Open
Executive functions can be conceptualised as either a set of higher-order cognitive skills that enable us to engage in flexible thinking and regulate our thoughts and behaviours, or as the ability to integrate knowledge, beliefs, and value…

Cognitive and academic skills in two developmental cohorts of different ability level: A mutualistic network perspective. Open
Mutualistic theories assume that the mastering of a skill, either cognitive or academic, supports and amplifies the development of other such abilities. The current study uses network science to model cross-sectional associations between c…
