Abstract
Adolescents aged 11-12 years completed cognitive assessments and questionnaires on socio-economic status (SES). SES was positively associated with a range of executive function (EF) measures. The strength of these associations was halved when individual differences in fluid intelligence were considered. School type (state/independent) was most closely associated with cognitive scores.
