Unlabelled: Executive functions (EF), including verbal and visuospatial working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility, are associated with academic skills such as copying and producing written texts in school-age children.
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the association between primary school children's executive function skills and their ability to copy and produce written texts.
Methodology: We included 282 children attending primary school (children in fourth to sixth grade; mean age = 10.
Theoretical frameworks suggest that cognitive inhibition suppresses irrelevant information in working memory, preventing overload and promoting the processing of task-relevant information. Consequently, it may also contribute to more complex skills, such as abstract reasoning, by facilitating the retention and processing of patterns and relationships. However, empirical evidence does not consistently show these relationships in early elementary school years.

- This study looked at how a medicine called nintedanib might help with breast cancer by making the environment around the tumor less stiff.
- Researchers tested this by comparing two groups of patients: one got regular treatment while the other received nintedanib with their treatment.
- They found that although overall survival rates were similar, patients with high stiffness scores (MeCo) had a higher risk of cancer returning, but taking nintedanib lowered that risk.
