Executive function disorder rehabilitation in neurological patients is associated with many difficulties. We investigated the effectiveness of group training, proposed by B. Wilson et al., which has the model of frontal lobes functioning by D. T. Stuss as the theoretical background. The study participants were 16…

Theoretical models suggest executive functions are supported by both domain-general and domain-specific processes. While some brain imaging studies claim executive tasks recruit a domain-general multiple-demand (MD) brain system, many studies argue the spatially coarse results of traditional imaging methods have…

'Francisco Cano-García' 'Mark A. Connelly'] Background/Objectives: Numerous research studies link the improvement in executive functions and school success. However, there is hardly any research analyzing the transfer of this improvement to behavioral problems. This study analyzed whether improving executive functions…

Cognitive control, the ability to adapt thoughts and actions to shifting contexts and goals, is composed primarily of three distinct yet interrelated components: Inhibition, Shifting, and Updating. While prior research has examined the nature of different cognitive components as well as their inter-relationships, fewer…

Executive functions are a set of cognitive processes essential for cognitive control and coordination, enabling the achievement of objectives. These functions include mental exploration of ideas, reasoning, logical conclusion drawing, discipline, decision making, thoughtful consideration before action, tackling…

Introduction In the past three decades, there has been increasing interest in assessing children’s Executive Functions (EF). However, studies on the conceptualization and operationalization of this construct are incongruent and guidance for clinicians and researchers aiming to assess EF is insufficient due to…

'Régis Coutant' 'Bruno Donadille' 'Laurence Faivre' 'Sylvie Manouvrier-Hanu' 'Florence Petit' 'Christel Thauvin-Robinet' 'Annick Toutain' 'Irène Netchine' 'Sylvie Odent' 'Robert Didden'] Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a rare imprinting disorder characterized by prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. The two…

Numerous studies have examined executive function (EF) abilities in cognitively healthy older adults and those living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently, there are no standard accepted protocols for testing specific EFs; thus, researchers have used their preferred tool, which…

Executive function is typically considered from a chronological age perspective, despite the influence of biological maturity on executive function development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of chronological age and biological maturity on inhibitory control and working memory, separately in…

Executive functions (EF) are higher-order cognitive processes essential for academic performance in university settings. Although there is extensive research on EF training in children, studies in young adults are scarce, particularly those involving interventions tailored to specific needs. To evaluate the effect of…

Healthy aging is associated with structural and functional network changes in the brain, which have been linked to deterioration in executive functioning (EF), while their neural implementation at the individual level remains unclear. As the biomarker potential of individual resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC)…

'António Coelho' 'Sónia Silva Sousa' 'Adriana Sampaio' 'Eva Ferreira de Oliveira'] BACKGROUND: Executive functions (EFs) are a set of cognitive processes with inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility as their core components. These processes help individuals control impulses, stay focused, think before…

'Dipanshu Verma' 'Varun Dutt'] Abstract— Executive functioning is a cognitive process that enables humans to plan, organize, and regulate their behavior in a goal-directed manner. Understanding and classifying the changes in executive functioning after longitudinal interventions (like transcranial direct current…

—Executive function, also known as executive control, is a multifaceted construct encompassing several cognitive abilities, including working memory, attention, impulse control, and cognitive flexibility. To accurately measure executive functioning skills, it is necessary to develop assessment tools and strategies that…

Children with ADHD often struggle with executive function (EF) and motor skills, impacting their academics and social life. While medications are commonly used, they have side effects, leading to interest in non-drug treatments. Physical activity (PA) has shown promise in improving cognitive and motor skills in…

Since its introduction, the construct of executive functions (EFs) has been associated with a set of tests to assess these functions and a brain network centered in the associative frontal brain regions. While the majority of perspectives have endorsed these associations, some studies have started casting doubts on…

Dopamine is a hormone that is released by the adrenal gland and influences motor control and motivation. Dopamine is known to have 5 receptors which are D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5, which are further categorized into 2 families: D1 family and D2 family. The D1 family is known to play a role in motivation and motor control…
