related to impulsivity. However, none of the ECFs was directly related to risk behavior apart from relations with impulsivity, and as reflected in the small amount of variation explained in impulsivity, their relations with impulsivity were not strong. Performance on the cognitive control Stroop task was highly related to working memory performance; however, it was not related to either impulsivity or risk behaviors apart from working memory. Hence, the findings only support an indirect role for ECF in the emergence of early risk taking.
