Özet

This study is a descriptive study aiming to identify the relationship between 9-12-month-old children's executive function performances and their social skills. Adopting a survey method, this research study used the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and Stroop Test-TBAG Form as well as the School Social Behavioral Scale and Personal Information Form as data collection instruments. The population of the study includes 131 9-12-year-old students continuing their education in the Istanbul province. The results of the study indicate that among executive functions, 9-12-year-old children's levels of perseveration and resistance to interfering effect vary depending on their gender and their levels of perseveration, conceptualization/reasoning, and resistance to interfering effect vary depending on the grade they are in.
