The Interrelationship between executive functions, cognitive processes, and verbal abilities in primary school children.

Research Abstract

The study aimed to identify the interrelationship between the executive functions and the cognitive processes and the verbal abilities of the children in the primary stage. The researcher relied on the descriptive descriptive approach, where he described the variables of the study (executive functions, cognitive processes and verbal abilities) in ordinary children enrolled in primary education. The researcher used the related approach to determine the interrelationships between the executive functions, the cognitive processes and the verbal abilities of the children in the primary stage. The sample was selected from (10) children The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the general intelligence and both of the (Problem solving and working memory), while there is no statistically significant relationship between the general intelligence and both of the (active control, initial, executive functions) in ordinary children, there is a statistically significant relationship between the executive functions and both (verbal expression, , Visual acuity, working memory), while there is no statistically significant relationship between the executive functions as a whole and (audio reception, visual reception, auditory coherence, visual interconnection, manual expression, In general, there is a statistically significant relationship between general intelligence and both auditory reception, manual expression, working memory, and verbal expression in ordinary children, while there is no significant statistical relationship between general intelligence and both (Visual reception, auditory coherence, visual coherence, auditory closure, visual closure, blending of sounds, successive visual memory, executive functions as a whole) in ordinary children.
