Pacewicz, Christine E.; Pfeiffer, Karin A.; Nuttall, Amy K.; Branta, Crystal F.; Haubenstricker, John L.; Seefeldt, Vern – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Excess adipose tissue may impact the motor performance of youth. Therefore, the current study examined: (1) if adiposity influenced performance in the jump and reach and 30-yard dash; and (2) if maturation predicted motor performance. Participants (N = 267) included girls aged 8 to 16 years. Latent growth curves were used to assess changes in…

Zheng, Annie; Church, Jessica A. – Child Development, 2021
Children perform worse than adults on tests of cognitive flexibility, which is a component of executive function. To assess what aspects of a cognitive flexibility task (cued switching) children have difficulty with, investigators tested where eye gaze diverged over age. Eye-tracking was used as a proxy for attention during the preparatory period…
