dc.description.abstract | Children in foster care often present difficulties related to executive functions, such as poor school adjustment and
impulsivity. Despite their importance, few studies have analyzed executive functions in foster children, especially
beyond preschool age. This study sought to analyze the executive functions of a sample of 43 Spanish foster children
aged between five and nine years (M = 7.51, SD = 1.29), using a caregiver-reported questionnaire. We also explored
the relationship between executive functions, early adversity variables, and teacher-reported school adjustment.
Results indicate that participants experienced more executive function-related difficulties than the measure's standardization sample in almost all areas, particularly in behavioral regulation, although they were found to have ageappropriate executive function levels in some areas, such as monitoring and organization of materials. Prenatal
substance exposure was associated with poorer planning/organization skills, whereas other early adversity variables
showed no statistically significant associations with executive functions. A higher level of difficulty in inhibitory
control and other areas were associated with poorer school adjustment as reported by teachers. The results of our
study point to an important presence of executive function difficulties in foster children in middle childhood, a
finding which highlights the need for early intervention efforts targeting these skills among this population. | es |
