COgnitive Dynamics in Early Childhood
Cognitive ability, measured through standardized tests, provides a highly predictive measure of lifespan outcomes including academic achievement, job success, as well as mental and physical health. However, these cognitive snapshots omit a crucial aspect of cognitive ability: Short term variability in cognitive performance. Individuals with more variable performance are more likely to be mis-stratified into schools or careers with potential lifelong consequences, and more likely to perform at levels that necessitate intervention for periods of time. Moreover, variability reflects a promising early warning marker of adverse outcomes, above and beyond mean performance. However, the challenges…
