Results indicated that these two abilities are moderately correlated (with age acting as a significantly negative moderator), hence providing further insight into how the relation between executive function and spatial skills may be utilized in research and assessment settings.

Kiara is a researcher in Assistant Professor @damcotto.bsky.social's research group, Berkeley Lab for Opportunities in Cognition and Knowledge (BLOCK). Kiara will discuss a meta-analysis of thirteen studies that relate executive function skills to spatial abilities in children ages 8 to 12.

Thrilled for @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social undergrad Kiara Eng who is presenting at the 2026 @yale.edu Undergraduate Research Conference (YURC). Title is: "A Meta-Analysis of the Correlations Between Executive Functions and Spatial Abilities: Implications for Theory, Research, and Practice."

Prof of Practice Derek Van Rheenen talks w/ @ktvufox2.bsky.social Gasia Mikaelian about the impact of the rising cost of youth sports. He says what's important is that families have an open dialogue about, "is this actually fun or has playing a sport become an oxymoron?" www.ktvu.com/video/fmc-e7...
