While there is a theoretical distinction between cool (cognitive) and hot (emotional) executive functions, potential relationships can be identified between tasks associated with these two aspects. A decision tree serves as a model for training and analyzing data, predicting the target variable based on independent variables in a hierarchical fashion. In contrast to other predictive methods, this model doesn't necessitate statistical expertise and makes decisions akin to human decision-making through hierarchical "if" and "then" rules, providing an easily interpretable framework. To date, no studies have explored the relationship between cool and hot executive functions using decision tree models. In this study, preschool children specifically Persian-speaking Iranian children aged 4 to 5 years (
