Implication

Normative development of executive function influences mental health in adolescents, suggesting early screening benefits.

Key Points

  • Higher executive function scores correlate with fewer mental health issues like peer problems and hyperactivity.
  • Significant age-related improvements in executive function were observed across developmental stages from early to late adolescence.
  • Generalized additive models were used to create developmental charts and analyze mental health associations at different ages.
  • Findings highlight the need for culturally informed mental health screenings, particularly in early adolescence.
