DESCRIPTION:Self-regulation abilities are known to be a central determinant
  of educational success and a wide range of other important life outcomes.
  We conducted a randomized-controlled trial with about 600 first graders t
 o identify the causal effect of a targeted self-regulation training on sel
 f-regulation abilities\, concentration\, and educational outcomes. Results
  demonstrate that our self-regulation training increases long-term outcome
 s 12 months after treatment for attention and inhibition abilities\, self-
 regulation behavior\, as well as reading abilities. There is no treatment 
 effect on math abilities\, fluid IQ\, and on one of our concentration task
 s. We conclude that targeted training of self-control abilities in early y
 ears can substantially improve these self-regulation abilities in the long
  run\, that these improvements potentially serve as a multiplier for the p
 romotion of schooling abilities\, and thus that this kind of training migh
 t be an effective tool to foster the skill formation process.\nSpeaker: Da
