5. Self-regulation abilities, beyond intelligence, play major role in early achievement
   03-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Young children's "self regulation" abilities, such as shifting and focusing attention, have been found to account for greater variation in early academic success than measures of intelligence. This study examined how the development of self-regulation is associated with emerging math and literacy ability in kindergarten. One particular aspect of self-regulation was particularly associated with early ability in math. Some children may be at risk of early school failure due to slower development of self-regulation abilities.
