Executive functions (EFs) as a set of cognitive processes play a crucial role in developing children's higher mental functions andacademic success. Regardless of the number of studies conducted on EFs, current findings on the structure of cognitive functionsas a whole or multifaceted construct are mixed. This study aims to evaluate and compare the latent factor structure of EFs inpreschool-aged children (5–7 years) and school-aged children (7–9 years) to identify this structure across two age groups. Thestudy involved 500 children divided into four age groups: senior kindergarten groups, preparatory kindergarten groups, firstgrade groups, and second grade groups. The participants were assessed using the NEPSY-II neuropsychological battery andthe Dimensional Change Card Sort task. The results revealed that a three-factor model of EFs, comprising inhibitory control,working memory, and cognitive flexibility, best fits the data across all age groups. This suggests an earlier differentiation of EFscomponents, starting at the age of 5, which contradicts some previous studies proposing one- or two-factor structures in pre-school age. Correlation analysis showed statistically moderate relationships between EFs components, which weakened by thesecond grade, potentially indicating stabilization in EFs development during early school years. The findings support the unityand diversity model of EFs and emphasize the importance of conducting longitudinal research to clarify the factors influencingEFs development over time.

The paper substantiates the concept of the existence of a “transvital Self”, a particular form of an individual’s existence beyond the apparent forms of vital function and the processes of reproducing self as a psychophysical integrity. The author uses the term “transvitality” (as in A. Akopyan’s “transvital meanings”) to more generally address this concept as ...

The concept of the I that is present in the scholarly and mundane consciousness is inwardly paradoxical, as it contains the risk of regression to “bad infinity”. Thus, “I see an object” obviously creates in me the image of the object; by implication, “someone” inside me sees the image of the perceived object and, consequently, ...

Generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) is increasingly used in higher education, yet its role in collaborative learning remains unclear. This study examines how students use Gen-AI during group lesson-planning tasks in an undergraduate education course. Drawing on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, we introduce the concept of “an effort space” and apply the categories of appropriate, over-, and ...

Executive functions are a set of high-level cognitive processes that regulate human behavior and cognition, and are necessary for adaptive and goal-directed behavior. The error monitoring process can be considered as a condition preceding the enhancement or activation of executive control. The neural correlate of this condition is the error-related negativity (ERN). This article presents ...
