Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comprehension and language skills play a key role in the development of both executive attention (the ability to plan and focus on a task) and sustained attention (the ability to maintain focus over a longer period of time). As children learn to understand and use language more effectively, they are better able to manage their own attention and regulate their behavior. While fine and gross motor skills, sharing and playtime strategies, and deduction and reasoning skills can also contribute to overall development, they are not as directly linked to attentional abilities as language and comprehension.
