摘要：

Executive function (EF) is a term that defines a group of cognitive abilities fundamental to goal-directed behaviour. EF is a strong predictor of both academic and life success. Therefore, it is important to develop EFs in the early years of life. We created a curriculum of games (BBF) for preschool children that focused on improving EFs. The purpose of the study was to assess the curriculum's impact. We asked the parents of 86 children to respond to three surveys. The majority (72) of these children participated in the BBF curriculum, while 14 were in a control group. These surveys were given twice; pre- and post-curriculum implementation. We found significant improvements in various behaviours measured by the three questionnaires in the BBF group that did not occur in the control group. This suggests that the BBF curriculum can be implemented as a programme to improve cognitive abilities in children.
