The development of working memory, Study 4: Primary memory, processing speed, and secondary memory as determinants of children's working memory
The aim of this study was to build on the work done in the three previous experiments on the grant that looked, in turn, at the development in children of primary memory, processing speed, and secondary memory. Measures taken from these earlier studies were used in this work to determine which of these factors underpinned working memory development in children, and the...
The role of trauma specific behaviours and parenting style in facilitating child psychological adjustment
The PROTECT data collection includes study measures (questionnaires, interviews, tasks), their corresponding scoring guides, and quantitative data extracted from these measures. The collection contains data from three time points: within 6 weeks of the traumatic event, three months after the traumatic event and six months after the traumatic event.

Cross-cultural study of family influences on executive functions in late childhood
Recent advances in developmental cognitive neuroscience suggest a link between executive functions (EF) and school achievement, above and beyond the contributions of intelligence. Executive functions are often described as our ability to reason, plan ahead, multi-task or switch between tasks, sustain attention, delay gratification, and make complex decisions. Marked...
The development of working memory, Study 1: Primary memory development
This data collection contains data from the first of four studies conducted on the associated ESRC grant (data from the other studies will be made available as separate datasets in ReShare).
The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which primary memory development constrains the development of working memory in children, and whether primary memory capacity...
The development of working memory, Study 2: Processing speed
The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which various speeded-related processes constrain the development of working memory in children, and whether these processes mediate the relationship between working memory and academic attainment.
To that end, a sample of 112 children aged between 5 and 8 years were given four tasks measuring speed-related aspects...
The development of working memory, Study 3: Secondary memory
The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which secondary memory development constrains the development of working memory in children. Secondary memory was investigated in this study in the context of a free recall task. In free recall, participants are presented with a list of items to remember that is beyond their 'span', and are asked to recall as many...
Executive Function Vs. Executive Function and Metacognition Training in 7 to 11-year-old Children, 2016-2020
93 children between 7 and 11 years were recruited from under-privileged areas in Edinburgh, Scotland. Pre- and post-tests focused on executive function skills through tests of working memory (backwards Corsi blocks task), inhibition (antisaccade task), and cognitive flexibility (cued task switching). There were three training conditions: Meta EF, Basic EF, and Control....
Behavioural and eyetracking data using the Director task
The data consist of response times and accuracies, and eye movement parameters (e.g., latency to final fixation) from human participants during a series of laboratory tasks. The aim of this project was to advance our understanding of when and why humans succeed and fail to use their "theory of mind" abilities to support interpretation of language. The director task (Apperly...
