Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if progressively more challenging playground games (motor synchrony games) improve executive function in preschool-aged children.

Conditions

  • Preschool Child
  • Executive Function (Cognition)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motor Synchrony Games (MSG)

The motor synchrony games (MSG) intervention uses fun but progressively more challenging gross motor and imitation games to promote behavioral self-regulation. Primary activities include: songs and fingerplays, stop and go games, and imitation games. These games get progressively more challenging over time by varying signal/modality. For example, going from a verbal and gestural paired "stop" and "go" signal to only a gestural stop signal. A fidelity checklist is used to ensure the intervention is appropriately used with the following criteria (uses \>10 imitation trials, \>10 Stop \& Go games, \>3 trials/min on average with \>5 trials/min preferred, use of progressive challenge, opportunities for Child Choice, environmental arrangement, and therapeutic strategies such as modeling).
