Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have the “first grader problem” in Japan. We think that this problem originated in the immaturity of a child's execution function (EF). Hence, we developed EF reinforcement program in Japan called Social Thinking and Academic Readiness Training (START; Imai-Matsumura, 2010). The current study investigated the differences in the effects of the START program academic readiness lessons on EF, behavioral self-regulation, and children’s switching response to teacher’s directions in 4- and 5-year-old children. The EF improved after the START lessons in both age groups. The significant relationship between the EF before entering school and the study results after elementary school entrance also became clear.
