“…The finding that family organization is related to better inhibitory control extends what has been already reported in typically developing children (Coldwell, Pike & Dunn, 2006; Hughes & Ensor, 2009) to children with cochlear implants. In fact, using the same measures of family environment (FES) and executive function (BRIEF) as the present study, Schroeder & Kelley (2010) found that families with high levels of organization reported having children with better behavioral regulation. Similarly, other researchers have reported that family chaos is related to parent report of child problem behaviors (Coldwell et al, 2006) and executive dysfunction (Hughes & Ensor, 2009).…”

Purpose To evaluate the family environments of children with cochlear implants and to examine relationships between family environment and post-implant language development and executive function. Method Forty-five families of children with cochlear implants completed a self-report family environment questionnaire (FES) and an inventory of executive function (BRIEF/BRIEF-P). Children’s receptive vocabulary (PPVT-4) and global language skills (PLS-4/CELF-4) were also evaluated. Results The family environments of children with cochlear implants differed from those of normal-hearing children, but not in clinically significant ways. Language development and executive function were found to be atypical, but not uncharacteristic of this clinical population. Families with higher levels of self-reported control had children with smaller vocabularies. Families reporting a higher emphasis on achievement had children with fewer executive function and working memory problems. Finally, families reporting a higher emphasis on organization had children with fewer problems related to inhibition. Conclusions Some of the variability in cochlear implantation outcomes that have protracted periods of development is related to family environment. Because family environment can be modified and enhanced by therapy or education, these preliminary findings hold promise for future work in helping families to create robust language-learning environments that can maximize their child’s potential with a cochlear implant.

“…This area of the brain also helps an individual to deliberately select new emotional reappraisal responses (Ochsner et al, 2012). While there is debate in the literature as to whether emotion regulation is an executive function, following in the vein of Blair, Ochsner, and others (Blair, Zelazo, & Greenberg, 2005; Ochsner & Gross, 2008; Ochsner et al, 2012; Schroeder & Kelley, 2010) we have included emotion regulation as part of our overall construct in recognition that emotion regulation and executive functioning intersect in important ways and use similar pathways in the brain (Ochsner et al, 2012). In the parenting literature, it is typical to study either maternal emotion control or other cognitive control components, but not both components in the same study.…”

Purpose Emerging evidence suggests that maternal emotion and cognitive control capacities are critical to the development and maintenance of parenting practices and may be related to parents’ ability to seek and use parenting help. The purpose of this paper is to present a cohesive conceptual framework on the intersection of maternal emotion and cognitive control capacities and parenting based on a review of literature. Methods We conducted a comprehensive literature review of articles published between 2000 and February 2014 that addressed maternal emotion and cognitive control and parenting. The 35 articles identified were assigned a methodological quality score. Results Low maternal emotion and cognitive control capacity is associated with increased risk of engaging in child maltreatment, whereas higher maternal emotion and cognitive regulation is associated with sensitive, involved parenting. Contextual factors, such as SES and household organization, play a complex and not clearly understood role on the association between maternal cognitive control and parenting. A conceptual framework was developed based on the results of the literature review. Conclusions The conceptual framework developed can be used to inform future research and practice. Longitudinal studies that assess the temporal relationship of maternal emotion and cognitive control and parenting are necessary to establish causality. Research that addresses how maternal emotion regulation and cognitive control capacities are related to mothers’ enrollment and participation in parenting and early intervention programs is an important next step to strengthening policy and intervention work.

“…The Family Assessment Device (FAD) is a rating scale that broadly assesses family functioning. Unhealthy family functioning has been associated with poorer health outcomes for youth with chronic illness, and impaired family functioning has been associated with poorer child EF abilities 37,38 . For the current study, the 12‐item General Functioning scale was used.…”

Background Research has shown that broad cognitive functioning in individuals with CF is intact. Specific executive functioning (EF) deficits have been identified, however, and adults with CF report more symptoms of ADHD than the general population. EF skills are critical to the management of a complex disease like CF although studies have not adequately examined EF mechanisms in CF. This manuscript (a) described EF in a small sample of children with CF, (b) summarized relations found between EF and psychosocial variables, and (c) presented a conceptual model by which to understand EF's impact on adherence in CF. Methods Data for this preliminary study were collected from 19 children with CF and their caregivers (ages, 6‐18). Caregivers completed questionnaires assessing their child's physical and mental health, their own functioning, and overall family functioning. EF was measured using a parent‐report rating scale. Patient health data were collected from the electronic medical record. Results This sample did not demonstrate elevated levels of EF impairment. Worse EF was related to poor family communication/cohesion, as well as higher treatment burden, worse lung function, poorer adherence, and older age. From these findings, a preliminary model was developed describing EF in the context of CF and adherence. Conclusions Findings from this preliminary study suggest that the CF regimen and associated symptoms may overload otherwise adequate EF skills. Reducing disease burden and preventing burnout should be a focus of treatment. A better understanding of EF in CF and the impact on adherence would allow for better clinical management and effective design of interventions.
