Abstract
Executive function (EF) is a term that defines a group of cognitive abilities fundamental to goal-directed behaviour. EF is a strong predictor of both academic and life success. Therefore, it is important to develop EFs in the early years of life. We created a curriculum of games (BBF) for preschool children that focused on improving EFs. The purpose of the study was to assess the curriculum's impact. We asked the parents of 86 children to respond to three surveys. The majority (72) of these children participated in the BBF curriculum, while 14 were in a control group. These surveys were given twice; pre- and post-curriculum implementation. We found significant improvements in various behaviours measured by the three questionnaires in the BBF group that did not occur in the control group. This suggests that the BBF curriculum can be implemented as a programme to improve cognitive abilities in children.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
