“…It can be assumed that, in terms of influence on cognitive inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, different types of extracurricular activities are not less effective at this age than music training. The absence of differences in EF skills except motor inhibitory control between the groups can also be explained by the fact that all children attended a preschool kindergarten education program (Veraksa et al, 2019).…”

“…According to a number of studies, music training is associated with the development of EF in preschool children (Janus et al, 2016;Jaschke et al, 2018;Frischen et al, 2021;Bayanova et al, 2022;Chen et al, 2022;Degé and Frischen, 2022;Rodriguez-Gomez and Talero-Gutiérrez, 2022;Veraksa et al, 2023). The most positive findings were observed for inhibitory control (Bolduc et al, 2021;Degé and Frischen, 2022;Rodriguez-Gomez and Talero-Gutiérrez, 2022;Schellenberg and Lima, 2024).…”

Executive function development is especially important in the last year of the preschool period because this period precedes the transition to school. Therefore, it is relevant to study extracurricular activities that can positively impact the development of executive function in 6–7-year-old children. According to earlier research, executive function development might be positively influenced by music training. The current cross-sectional study aimed to explore differences in executive function among 6–7-year-old preschoolers depending on participation in music training. In the current research, children were divided into two groups of 37 participants each: children who received music training for at least half a year and children who did not receive music training. Children in both groups did not participate in dance training because music is also actively used during dance training. Background variables such as participation in extracurricular activities, screen time, family singing activities, maternal education, and family income level did not differ between the groups. The study revealed that the children who received music training had a higher level of motor inhibitory control compared to the children who did not receive music or dance training. This study offers further support for the association between executive function and music training in preschoolers.

This study analyzed differences in level of main executive function (EF) components (such as inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility) among Russian and Japanese preschoolers. The study involved 102 children of 5–6.9 years old: 51 child from Russia and 51 child from Japan. Out of 102 children 48 were boys and 54 girls. It was found that the cognitive flexibility level in Russian children is higher and inhibition level is lower than in Japanese children. The results of the boys’ EF comparison showed that boys from Russia have lower cognitive and physical inhibition levels than boys from Japan. Also it was shown that cognitive flexibility in Russian girls is significantly higher and cognitive inhibition is lower than in Japanese girls. The results obtained are discussed from the point of view of possible cultural differences in the two countries studied, which are manifested in the expectations of adults from children.
