Abstract

Executive Functions is a psychological construct of multidimensional nature, based on different models that try to account for the basic processes that compose them. A common idea to all the conceptual perspectives that address the study of this construct is the notion that executive functions refer to psychological processes deliberately used to guide behavior to a goal, particularly in novel situations... (Technical Ed. Note: follows, only first paragraph excerpt is presented, as there is no abstract).
