Abstract

Writing is a complex task that is acquired in the early primary school years and continues to develop through adolescence and beyond. Studying the cognitive processes that support writing skills during the acquisition phase may be crucial to support this complex skill especially in less-skilled writers. Executive Functions (EF) could have an important role as they are high cognitive control processes that allow individuals to control and plan thoughts and actions in order to achieve a goal. Given that EF have a crucial development during childhood, when the basic writing skills are acquired, this systematic review aims to investigate the contribution of the main EF components to the writing process in children. Search string focused on three main concepts: executive functions, writing, and children. Twenty-six studies were included following the guidelines of the PRISMA Statement. From the analyzed studies, working memory, in comparison to inhibition, cognitive flexibility, and planning, emerged as the most studied and the most related to writing skills. Nevertheless, the results also support the involvement of all EF basic components in writing, with a role that could vary depending on the considered writing process.0.

儿童执行功能与写作之间的关系:系统综述。
写作是一项复杂的任务,从小学低年级开始习得,并在青春期及以后继续发展。研究在习得阶段支持写作技能的认知过程,对于支持这项复杂的技能,尤其是对于写作技能较低的人来说,可能至关重要。执行功能(EF)可以发挥重要作用,因为它是一种高度认知控制过程,允许个人控制和计划思想和行动,以实现目标。鉴于执行功能在儿童时期的发展至关重要,而儿童的基本写作技能正是在这一时期获得的,因此本系统综述旨在研究执行功能的主要组成部分对儿童写作过程的贡献。搜索字符串集中在三个主要概念上:执行功能、写作和儿童。根据 PRISMA 声明的指导原则,共纳入 26 项研究。在分析的研究中,与抑制、认知灵活性和计划相比,工作记忆是研究最多的,也是与写作技能最相关的。尽管如此,研究结果也支持所有 EF 基本成分在写作中的参与,其作用可能因所考虑的写作过程而有所不同。

期刊介绍: The purposes of Child Neuropsychology are to: publish research on the neuropsychological effects of disorders which affect brain functioning in children and adolescents, publish research on the neuropsychological dimensions of development in childhood and adolescence and promote the integration of theory, method and research findings in child/developmental neuropsychology. The primary emphasis of Child Neuropsychology is to publish original empirical research. Theoretical and methodological papers and theoretically relevant case studies are welcome. Critical reviews of topics pertinent to child/developmental neuropsychology are encouraged. Emphases of interest include the following: information processing mechanisms; the impact of injury or disease on neuropsychological functioning; behavioral cognitive and pharmacological approaches to treatment/intervention; psychosocial correlates of neuropsychological dysfunction; definitive normative, reliability, and validity studies of psychometric and other procedures used in the neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents. Articles on both normal and dysfunctional development that are relevant to the aforementioned dimensions are welcome. Multiple approaches (e.g., basic, applied, clinical) and multiple methodologies (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental, multivariate, correlational) are appropriate. Books, media, and software reviews will be published.
