Description
Summary:<p>This study intends to investigate the mediating role of executive function in the relationship between central auditory processing and problem behaviors (PBs) in preschool children with ADHD. This study proposes a mediation model to test whether executive function plays a mediating role between central auditory processing and children’s PBs. A total of 120 participants took part in the study. Structural equation modeling was used to test whether executive function plays a mediating role between central auditory processing and children’s PBs. The results of this study show that executive function has a significant mediating effect between central auditory processing and PBs, and the mediating effect accounts for 30% of the total effect. Therefore, central auditory processing can not only directly affect children’s PB but also affect PBs by affecting executive function.</p>
