Abstract
Speech and language have been hypothesized to mediate executive function (EF) development. We sought to model associations of speech/language variables with Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS) performance, an EF measure, using penalized regression methods. Cognitive measures and brain regions classically associated with language and EF significantly predicted DCCS scores.
