ABSTRACT The role of motor coordination and executive functions in kindergarten for reading/spelling in 1st/2nd grade was examined in the light of other domain-general predictors. N = 173 children were included in the final analyses. A structural equation model with motor coordination, fluid intelligence, age and self-concept as predictors of reading/spelling fitted well. When EF were included, motor coordination and fluid intelligence were not associated with reading/spelling performance. A final model with EF, age and self-concept fitted best. Findings indicate an important role of EF for the development of reading and spelling and for the link between motor coordination and reading/spelling.

运动协调和执行功能作为阅读和拼写习得的早期预测指标

摘要 根据其他领域的一般预测因素，研究了运动协调和执行功能在幼儿园 1 年级/2 年级阅读/拼写中的作用。N = 173 名儿童被纳入最终分析。具有运动协调性、流体智力、年龄和自我概念作为阅读/拼写预测指标的结构方程模型非常适合。当包括 EF 时，运动协调和流体智力与阅读/拼写表现无关。具有 EF、年龄和自我概念的最终模型最适合。研究结果表明 EF 在阅读和拼写的发展以及运动协调和阅读/拼写之间的联系方面发挥着重要作用。
