Abstract
We examined executive function (EF) in Latino preschoolers and tested associations with demographic and cultural parenting variables. Age and daycare attendance were positively related to EF. Age was the primary contributor. Findings provide a step toward contextualizing EF development in this population and understanding factors that may relate to disparities.
