| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a review of the role executive functioning abilities plays in patterning and mathematics achievement. A study is then reported that examines the relationship between measures of inhibition, working memory, cognitive flexibility, patterning, and mathematics achievement in kindergartners. Cognitive flexibility was found to be a significant predictor of patterning performance while working memory and inhibition were found to be significant predictors of mathematics achievement. Lastly, there were multiple significant correlations found between the measures of executive functions. | |
