Ruffieux, Nicolas Barras, Patricia Laurencet, Patricia Richard, Sylvie Schmid, Felicia Hauert, Claude-Alain 2011 This chapter focuses on the evaluation of executive functions (EFs) in young children. More precisely, we are interested in the assessment of EFs in children between the age of 4 and 6 years, i.e. between the ages at which they can reasonably, and for a variable duration, follow precise instructions and the age at which they begin scholar learning. Additionally, at these ages, the child is not a fluent reader or writer. The chapter contains four parts, the three first corresponding to three questions: Why are we interested in such an issue? Which model could be used as a reference for the construction of an assessment battery of EFs? By means of which tests are we going to realize this assessment? The fourth part will present some positive results collected during a 3 years experiment in this context application/pdf https://fredi.hepvs.ch/global/documents/335327 https://fredi.hepvs.ch/documents/335327/files/Ruffieux_et al._Richard_2011_Contribution to the assessment of executive functioning in preschool children.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Contribution to the assessment of executive functioning in preschool children http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_c94f
