So what exactly is executive function?
Executive functioning is a cognitive skill that allows us to manage different aspects of our lives! It is an advanced cognitive skill that relies on multiple different aspects of cognition to operate. Executive function requires the following cognitive skills: attention, problem-solving, flexible thinking, working memory, self-control, and even emotional control. Without executive functioning skills, managing day-to-day tasks, staying safe, and getting things done become harder. Behavioral inhibition or emotional inhibition is part of executive functioning too. When an individual has a weaker executive function ability, individuals may have trouble with planning, prioritization, organization, and staying on a task.
