Learning skills for young children
This study looks at whether special activities to boost 'executive functions' (like self-control and planning) can help children learn better in a regular classroom. If your child is developing typically, they might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 5, 6, or 7 years old.
- Your child attends a regular public kindergarten or elementary school.
- Your child has no diagnosed cognitive, neurological, or psychiatric condition.

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.
This study tests a program designed to help children improve their focus, planning, and self-control. It may be suitable for children with ADHD, autism, or learning difficulties who have not had similar training before.
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 tests a new type of training designed to help children and teens improve their executive function skills—things like planning, focus, and self-control. It is open to kids ages 12 to 17, especially those with ADHD, as long as they are not currently taking ADHD medication and have a parent who can join the training.
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 study tests a training program that parents do with their children at home to improve thinking skills (like planning and staying focused) in kids with signs of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It may help improve your child's ability to focus and control impulses.
