In the last decade, advances in neuroimaging technologies have given rise to a large
number of research studies that investigate the neural underpinnings of executive function …

Connectionist and dynamical systems approaches explain human thought, language and
behavior in terms of the emergent consequences of a large number of simple noncognitive …

Research on executive function in early childhood has flourished in recent years. Much of
this work is premised on a view of development of executive function as the emergence of a …

Resting state electroencephalography (RS-EEG) is a commonly used neurophysiological
technique which provides a measure of brain activity when an individual is awake and not …

Success in life is linked to executive functions, a collection of cognitive processes that
support goal-directed behaviors. Executive functions is an umbrella term related to cognitive …

Executive function plays a foundational role in everyday behaviors across the life span. The
theoretical understanding of executive-function development, however, is still a work in …

The connection between brain rhythms at rest and cognition remains poorly understood.
This is especially true during early childhood in which neuroimaging data are relatively …

The early education field increasingly is recognizing the key role played by young children's
executive function (EF) skills, generally defined as the cognitive abilities that consciously …

In this chapter, we examine executive function (EF) strategies from a multiple-intelligences
and a developmental perspective. An intelligence is a capacity to compute using a particular …

Executive function (EF) skills are a set of attention-regulation skills involved in intentional,
goal-directed behavior that include (but are not limited to) the cool EF skills of working …
