Does preschool children's self-regulation moderate the impacts of instructional activities? Evidence from a randomized intervention study.

ABSTRACT: There is strong evidence linking children's self-regulation with their academic and behavioral outcomes. These relations have led to the development of interventions aimed at improving academic outcomes by promoting self-regulation, based in part on the idea that self-regulation promotes the development of academic skills.
