Cognitive Psychology Developmental Psychology The present study aims to investigate the potential links between the quality of parent practice at home and the early parent–preschooler interactions and subsequent hot executive function in typically developing children. The present study proposed two models, the first of which examined how parental scaffolding types and their strategies are used to solve problems in hot executive function situations and predict child performance for those tasks. In addition, this model examined whether a child’s language ability mediates the relationship between parental scaffolding types and the child’s performance on a hot executive function task; the relationship moderated by parents’ education level was also explored. The second model examined how parenting style predicts child performance in both hot and cool tasks as well as investigates how this relationship is moderated by parental education level. 60 children between the ages of four and six completed the translated version of Children’s Gambling Task (Kerr & Zelazo, 2004), which was utilized to evaluate their hot executive function abilities, while the Minnesota Executive Function Scale (MEFS) and the Arabic Language assessment were utilized to assess their cool executive function skills as well as their expressive vocabulary and word retrieval abilities, respectively. In addition, 60 mothers completed both the translated version of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen, & Hart, 1995) and a questionnaire asking for basic demographic information regarding age, sex, education, social status, as well as the child’s age, gender, and number of siblings. Additionally, 60 Saudi mothers completed a parent–child interaction assessment alongside their children. A challenging problem-solving task was implemented to assess the parental scaffolding type and strategies used. This problem-solving task was timed, and rewards were administered for puzzle completed within six to eight minutes. The main results revealed that directiveness significantly predicted child performance in hot executive function tasks. Additionally, there exists a positive linear relationship between authoritative style and child hot executive function, whereas there exists a negative linear relationship between authoritarian style and child hot executive function. On the other hand, there exists a negative linear relationship between permissive style and child cool executive function. The study concludes that parents enforcing authority with their children during the interactive activity and applying an authoritarian style during practice at home will affect the development of their children’s hot executive function skills. 2019-04-12 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1554984908299487 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1554984908299487 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
