1. Research has found that EF is related to performance in literacy and math along with long-term gains in school performance and academic readiness (Blair & Razza, 2007; Brock, Rimm-Kaufman, Nathanson, & Grimm, 2009; St Clair-Thompson & Gathercole, 2006; Welsh, Nix, Blair, Bierman, & Nelson, 2010) and that disparities in EF among preschool children from low-income versus high-income homes may contribute to the achievement gap (Blair & Razza, 2007; Noble, McCandliss, & Farah, 2007).

2. Inhibitory control involves being able to control one’s attention, behavior, thoughts, and/or emotions to override a strong internal predisposition or external lure, and instead do what’s more appropriate or needed (Diamond, 2013).

3. Our research suggests that Gwakkamole is an effective way to train inhibitory control. Homer, B. D. , Ober, T. , Rose, M. , MacNamara, A. , Mayer, R. , & Plass, J. L. (2019).

4. Gwakkamole is a game designed to train inhibitory control, a subskill of executive functions.

5. Miyake and Friedman’s model supports a unity-and-diversity view of EF in that it incorporates the three distinct but related components of EF: inhibitory control, task-switching and updating (Miyake et al. , 2000).

6. Executive functions refer to a set of top-down, goal-oriented cognitive processes that enable people to control, monitor and plan behaviors and emotions.

2. Add instructionsEasy to learn, fun, requires concentrationI like this so far, really good skill development.Great game could use some more stuffCured my ADHD and increased my iq by 30 points in 24 hours.

3. With music off, also lose popping sound when each avocado appears, which makes game much harder.

4. No explanation anywhere.Its really simple and interesting app for all age groups to gain high focus and concentration..I need to get to other open appa easily.

5. In some levels, avocados in top row wear spiked hats, hats appear above horizon while the rest of figure is below.

6. Very challenging games and benefit even adults for sure!!! Thank you!!!Interesting, but not enough instructions.

7. Sounds like distant phone ring or other notification sound.

8. Music distracting, esp when the faint high-pitched tone enters bkgnd.

9. Occasionally when i clearly hit the mole without the cap instead of getting 100 points I get minus -50 and I don't understand why.
