Components of Socioeconomic Status Differentially Predict Development of Cool Versus Hot Executive Function in Young Children.

ABSTRACT: It is established that higher family socioeconomic status predicts children's development of stronger executive function, which has implications for outcomes in adulthood. However, no prior studies have examined whether individual components of socioeconomic status independently predict children's change in executive function. Moreover, research has distinguished between "hot" (affectively salient) and "cool" (affectively neutral) executive function. The present study examines the unique contributions of components of socioeconomic status in predicting change in children's hot or cool executive function. Participants included a community sample of 231 children (109 girls) and their caregivers as part of a longitudinal study spanning ages 3 to 7.5 years. Children completed behavioral tasks
