Abstract
Frequent disruptions in conversations may inhibit a child’s ability to practice cognitively complex turn-taking. In a longitudinal study of 275 families, contrary to hypotheses, greater conversational disruptions were associated with better executive functioning performance and marginally with lower externalizing symptoms. Future directions will differentiate between cooperative and interruptive conversational overlaps.
