Abstract
Development of children’s executive functioning (EF) can be influenced by SES and maternal EF, particularly in early childhood. In a diverse, socioeconomically stratified sample of 152 mother-child dyads, this longitudinal study found that maternal working memory mediates associations between SES and child EF, but inhibitory control does not.
