Study of thinking skills in young children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how children in kindergarten think and learn (often called “executive function”). They may be testing whether certain patterns in thinking and behavior relate to learning or development, and what can be measured in young children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how difficulty reading might change how people make judgments and decisions. You may be asked to complete reading and thinking tasks, and the researchers compare results by reading performance.
This study follows children’s thinking and learning over time using simple testing at school. It aims to better estimate how children’s thinking develops and how it changes as they grow.
This trial studies interventions to improve math and cognitive (thinking) skills in elementary school children. It includes both children with math learning difficulties and typically developing children, using tests and MRI brain scans for those who can participate.
This study tests a computer-based training program designed to help children with autism improve their thinking and learning skills. It may help children become better at planning, focusing, and understanding their own thoughts.
This study looks at thinking skills (like memory and problem-solving) in adults with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome. You will complete some tests and interviews with a psychologist to understand how these skills work.
This study looks at how children’s and teens’ thinking and learning work in everyday school life. It may help researchers better understand strengths and challenges in cerebral palsy to improve support.
