Abstract

The study of Executive Function skills, like most research in the developmental sciences, has been heavily focused on the experiences of children from Western, industrialized, highly schooled and middle-class communities, often ignoring the experiences of the majority of children in the world. When research does include diverse populations, the approach is often from a deficit perspective, looking for ways to “fix” these children's lack of Executive Function skills. In this commentary, I argue for a contextual definition of Executive Function skills to reflect children's lived experiences, including the daily experiences of Indigenous children. I provide examples to illustrate how cultural values such as respect for children's autonomy and being acomedida/o can support the development of Executive Function skills. I then propose how the field of executive function research can move forward by (1) recognizing the broader ways in which children's daily activities can contribute to their Executive Function skills and (2) creating culturally relevant methods to measure Executive Function skills.

通过文化组织的自主和帮助培养执行功能技能
像大多数发展科学的研究一样,对执行功能技能的研究主要集中在西方、工业化、受过高等教育和中产阶级社区儿童的经历上,往往忽视了世界上大多数儿童的经历。当研究确实包括不同的人群时,方法往往是从缺陷的角度出发,寻找“修复”这些儿童缺乏执行功能技能的方法。在这篇评论中,我主张对执行功能技能进行上下文定义,以反映儿童的生活经历,包括土著儿童的日常经历。我提供了一些例子来说明文化价值观,如尊重儿童的自主权和成为一个无主见的人,如何支持执行功能技能的发展。然后,我提出了执行功能研究领域如何向前发展的建议:(1)认识到儿童日常活动可以促进他们执行功能技能的更广泛的方式;(2)创造与文化相关的方法来衡量执行功能技能。
