q3 i2 The cross-sectional link between inhibition and monitoring was significant at T1 (β = −0.25, p < .05) but not at T2 (β = 0.06, n.s.). → Sonja Kälin 2022

Evidence¶

Sonja Kälin 2022¶

Sonja Kälin, Claudia M. Roebers. (2022). Longitudinal associations between executive functions and metacognitive monitoring in 5- to 8-year-olds. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-022-09306-x

q3 · i2 · associational · r2

Concurrent paths from the same cross-lagged panel model in N = 84 children. The T1 path was significant (β = −0.25, p < .05) while the T2 path was not (β = 0.06, n.s.), a scope limit the article itself reports; the significant T1 coefficient is standardized and of medium magnitude.

"The cross-sectional link between inhibition and monitoring at T1 was significant ( β = − 0.25, p < .05), indicating that kindergarten children with better inhibition skills showed less overconfidence when monitoring their performance. In contrast, the cross-sectional link between inhibition and monitoring at T2 was not significant ( β = 0.06, n.s.)."

• Working memory and shifting in kindergarten were not significant predictors of later metacognitive monitoring — related
• Inhibition performance improved significantly from kindergarten to 2nd grade in accuracy, speed, and combined efficiency — related
