Randomized trial shows predictive associations of infant executive functions to preschool skills, suggesting early developmental importance.

This study investigates how early executive function skills in infants can predict later preschool executive function outcomes.
Collected longitudinal EEFQ data from 178 U.K. children at ages 10, 16, 24, and 30 months.
Assessed parent-reported EF outcomes using the BRIEF-P at 36 months.
Analyzed age-related improvements and individual differences in executive function scores over time.
EEGQ-Cognitive Executive Function showed rapid improvements between 10-24 months with significant associations to BRIEF-P scales.
EEGQ-Regulation scores decreased significantly between 10 and 30 months, predicting various BRIEF-P outcomes from 10 months.
Moderate stability in EEFQ scores was observed across 6 months, with significant stability across a 20-month interval.

Hendry et al. (2026) studied this question.
