DESCRIPTION:The Interplay Between Parental Executive Functioning\, Parental
  Stress\, and Parenting Skills Across a Parenting Intervention\n\nBehavior
 al parent training (BPT) interventions are the gold standard treatment for
  preschoolers with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)\, and h
 ave been shown to improve parenting\, and therefore children’s behavior.
  However\, treatment outcomes are dependent upon various child and parent 
 factors. Less research has examined predictors of treatment response in pr
 eschoolers\, including parental factors\, which is important given the kno
 wn benefits of early intervention.\n\nThis dissertation is comprised of th
 ree manuscripts focused on parent and child executive functioning (EF)\, a
 nd intervention outcomes for children with ADHD and their parents. Study I
  examined the extent to which individual differences in EF and emotion reg
 ulation (ER) were uniquely associated with preschoolers’ symptoms of ADH
 D prior to treatment. Findings suggest that as early as preschool\, underl
 ying deficits in EF and ER differentially relate to ADHD symptoms. The ext
 ent to which inattention relates to underlying ER and the association betw
 een EF and ER is also discussed. Implications include the importance of ta
 rgeting these processes in intervention. The purpose of study II was to ex
 amine the additional benefit of an adaptive Cogmed working memory training
  (CWMT) to a social- emotional/self-regulation classroom curriculum for pr
 eschoolers with externalizing behavior problems (EBP). Children were rando
 mly assigned to either adaptive CWMT\, or non-adaptive CWMT. Findings sugg
 est that while children in both groups improved on all measures (d’s = .
 23-.86)\, CWMT does not provide any incremental benefits to children’s E
 F\, behavior\, or academics when implemented within a comprehensive behavi
 oral modification intervention. Lastly\, the purpose of study III was to l
 ongitudinally examine 1) the malleability of stress\, parental executive f
 unctioning (EF)\, and parenting skills across an early BPT intervention\, 
 2) the association between stress and parental EF and parenting skills\, a
 nd 3) the extent to which parental stress moderates the association betwee
 n parental EF and parenting skills for parents of children with ADHD. Find
 ings from this study suggest that parental stress\, parenting skills\, and
  parental EF are malleable over the course of BPT (d’s = |.33-2.07|).\n\
 nCombined\, this body of work contributes to the existing literature on BP
 T by examining both child and parent factors across intervention\, which i
 s critical for optimizing intervention outcomes.\n\nMajor Professor: Dr. P
