The aim of the study was to examine whether cognitive skills are related to persistence. Thus, children’s (N = 157, mean age: 5.9 years) persistent and non‐persistent behaviours (i.e., cheating and off‐task) were assessed in an unsolvable task. Additionally, we assessed children’s executive functions and temperament. Analysis for persistence showed that cognitive inhibition and cognitive flexibility predicted children’s persistent behaviour, beyond age and temperament. Analyses for non‐persistent behaviours revealed that temperament and weak executive functions predicted cheating, while age predicted off‐task behaviour.
