Math and Self-Control: The Role of Inhibitory Control Across Methods

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: Building on our prior work establishing a dynamic relationship between self-control (measured via parent&self-reported self-control and behavioral problem indicators) and math(SMARTE) in the ABCD Study, the present study focuses on one cognitive component of self-control: inhibitory control. While our previous analyses relied on temperament/personality questionnaires and behavioral checklists as repeated proxies of self-control, the present study leverages task-based cognitive measures of inhibitory control, specifically the NIH Toolbox Flanker task.
