Each aspect of human development; physical, psychological and social development across life span... more Each aspect of human development; physical, psychological and social development across life span is a critical issue to many researchers to examine. During the emerging adulthood transitional period, a person is not adolescence but is also not yet fully adult. Hence, the word "young adults" is used to refer to this group under the study. Resulting from neural immatureness in prefrontal control areas, risky behaviors and problems can be found as threatening factors during this transitional period. As they are more independent and exposed to new things, attraction, stress, and risky environments, Executive Function (EF) has made itself important in self-controlling to cope with such distractions, solve problems and manage life's complexity. Thus, the importance of executive function must be addressed during this transition period. Several studies revealed the advantages of music training on various aspects including executive function improvement. Less is however known about the executive function and effect of music training on executive function during this young adulthood period development. This research aims to study the effect of music training on executive function among young adults studying in different studies programs particularly in Music and Non-Music Programs at university level. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is used for the assessment of the executive function among the selected group. The results show that young adults in Music Program performed better on 2 of the WCST sub-scores (total correct and conceptual level response) when compared to young adults in Non-Music Program.

EAT was applied to eleven-year-old boy with ASD. The boy was attending in Cognitive Neuroscience Research unit of Human Development Academic Research, Mahidol University. The EAT sessions took place for twice a week in a period of four weeks. The boy's assessments were conducted in the baseline, middle, and end of four weeks' treatment and in a follow-up session one month after. Data at fourth week demonstrated positive changes, with improvements continuing one month after the session's completion, as measured by Test of Visual-Motor Integration (Beery VMI). The improvement reported was in visual perception, motor coordination and visualmotor coordination. Interestingly, The EAT is not only be an efficient therapeutic method of improving visual-motor integration, but also promote a positive effect on perceived communication, planning, memory, and reducing self-stimulatory behaviours, all of which may lead to elevate attention in classroom in children with ASD. Therefore, the beneficial of EAT showed the positive effect promising trend and suggest that to be considered as an alternative implement therapeutic for ASD.

The sample was 27 parents and their 3-5-year-old preschoolers in the intervention group in which the parents received the 101s training program and 27 parents and their 3-5-year-old preschoolers in the control group in which the parents received no training. A series of MANCOVA was performed to compare the significant differences in mean scores on parenting practices and EF skills between the sample in the intervention and control groups. A bivariate correlation was also utilized to evaluate the significant correlations between the parenting practices and preschoolers' EF skills. The findings showed the significantly positive impact of the 101s parent training program on the parenting practices and preschoolers' EF skills. The implication, limitations, and suggestions are discussed.

It contains 101 techniques for caregivers to respond to their children with warmth and respect in order to promote children's social-emotional and cognitive skills. A followup research design with comparison group was utilized in one school setting where the 101s positive discipline for parent training had been implemented. The target group included 36 parents who had participated in the 101s training program for 3 years since their children were in the preschool periods and their 36 first-grade children. The comparison group included 39 parents who had never participated in the parent training program and their 39 first-grade children. The 101s Parent Interaction Checklist was used to measure the parents' interaction practices. The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function was used to rate the first-grade children's executive function. A series of MANCOVA was employed to evaluate the mean difference scores on the parents' parenting practice and first-grade children's executive function between the sample in the target and comparison groups. The results showed that the 101s positive discipline parents training program had a strong positive impact on the maintenance of the parenting practice and children's executive function. The discussions, limitations, implications and suggestions are discussed.

According to United Nations Population Fund or UNFPA, there are 1.8 billion adolescents and youth nowadays, which is one quarter of the world's population. Unfortunately, as reported by WHO, adolescents are faced with many risk factors including early pregnancy, HIV, violence, alcohol and drugs use, eating disorders, and tobacco use, as well as in Thailand. Nowadays, many researches have been done on the adolescent's brain and found that their brains are not fully developed, and that the frontal lobe which is responsible for the executive function (working memory, planning, and inhibitory control and shifting) will be fully developed at the age of 25. Moreover, there are evidence that music can improve executive function both in adults and children. Therefore, this present study aims to fill the gap by studying the executive function, especially switching task, in university students who major in music comparing with those of no music training using Stroop Color-Word test. The test was administered to 40 healthy participants, of which 20 are music students and the others are students with no music training. The result shows that students with music training performed better on incongruent condition of the Stroop Color-Word Test.

Previous research in the 101s positive discipline training program; the U.S. national winningaward program for training parents, teachers, and early childhood educators to promote children's social-emotional and cognitive skills, have showed the positive impact on the parenting practices and children's EF skills in Thailand for years. The current research attempted to further study the impact of the 101s children's training on their EF development. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the impact of the 101s Storybook program on EF and 101s social-emotional skills, and the correlations among EF, 101s social-emo tional skills, and school achievement. A quasi-experimental, pre-posttest control group was designed. The sample was 4-year-old children in two classrooms in an elementary school. One classroom (n = 20) was intervention group where the children received the 101s Storybook program, and the other classroom (n = 20) was control group where the children received no intervention. Before and after the program implementation, the teachers of the children were asked to rate the behavior rating inventory of executive function® and the 101s social-emotional checklist. A series of MANCOVA was employed to evaluate the different mean scores of the dependent variables. A bivariate correlation was also performed to evaluate the correlations among the dependent variables. The results showed the positive impact of the 101s Storybook program on children's EF, 101s social-emotional skills, and school achievement. The discussions, limitations, implications and suggestions are discussed.

Kersey To reduce using corporal punishment with children, the need to introduce alternative ways for parent practices has been requested by Thai parents. However, empirical research of parents' use of positive practices to discipline their young children has been limited in Thailand. Given the effectiveness of positive discipline as an accepted method in order to improve children's social and academic competencies in U.S., a cultural extension of positive discipline techniques to Thai culture is of interest. This study investigated the effectiveness of The 101s: A Guide to Positive Discipline training on Thai positive parenting skills to increase the quality of the teacher-child relationship, children's school adjustment and academic achievement in T...
