In this podcast, Samantha Iwinski, a predoctoral fellow in the Department of Human Development & Family Studies at Illinois, goes in depth on the topic of executive function and its development in individuals. She also discusses a study she co-authored with Professor Kelly Bost that analyzed data on hundreds of young children to find out how the regular consumption of sugary snacks and other foods, in conjunction with chaotic living environments, may impair the executive function skills of children.
