In a previous study we investigated whether various psychology<br>courses change nature-nurture beliefs or misconceptions of<br>students. The only students that showed evidence of changing<br>their beliefs were ones completing a Nature-Nurture (N-N)<br>seminar. The purpose of the present study was to further<br>investigate aspects of the N-N seminar by collecting students’<br>daily feedback over the semester. Overall, the data indicates that<br>students found class discussions to be interesting, engaging, and<br>productive.<br><br>

Executive Function and Inhibitory Control in Preschool aged children
March 2013
2013 Convention of the Eastern Psychological Association, NY NY
This project assessed preschoolers’ executive function in two everyday contexts (i.e., home & daycare) using the rating scales of a clinically derived instrument (BRIEF-P, Gioia, Espy, & Isquith, 2003). There were 144 BRIEF-P forms collected for 77 children (46 boys, 31 girls), half of the forms were completed by parents. Correlations between parent and teacher ratings on like scales of the BRIEF-P were modest. Findings fit with earlier research (Gioia, Espy, & Isquith, 2003).
