Executive functions and play

Trends in Neuroscience and Education, 2023
Executive functions and play have been researched separately over the last few decades. Only recently has the association between the two constructs received more attention. Thus, a Special Issue on this association is timely. The six empirical studies of the Special Issue applied various types of play (e.g., dramatic play or physical play) in their ...

Executive Function

2015
Components of human executive function, like rule generation and selection in response to stimuli (attention set-shifting) or overcoming a habit (reversal learning), can be reliably modelled in rodents. The rodent paradigms are based upon tasks that assess cognitive flexibility in clinical populations and have been effective in distinguishing the ...

Executive Functions

Pediatric Annals, 2005
Executive functions are higher-order cognitive processes that continue to develop well into adulthood. They are critically important to behavioral self-control and task performance, and deficits can have serious effects on a student's functioning in many areas.

Executive frontal functions

Experimental Brain Research, 2000
This chapter presents a conceptual model of the representational and executive functions of the cortex of the frontal lobe derived from empirical evidence obtained principally in the monkey. According to this model, the neuronal networks of the frontal lobe that represent motor or executive memories are probably the same networks that cooperate with ...

Multisensory executive functioning

Brain and Cognition, 2004
To better understand the prefrontal circuitry that putatively supports executive functions, such as those involved in switching tasks, we asked whether a current task set is open equally to receiving information from any sensory modality or if it is to some degree modality-specific.

The Function of the Executive [PDF]

open access: possibleThe American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 1947
IN DAYS OF WORLD EVENTS economists are understandably occupied with broad aggregates, "bloodless categories" of total employment, national income, corporate retained earnings, cyclical fluctuations and the like. While such is necessarily the case it is now and again important and refreshing to turn, as Professor Hayek has recently done,' to the human ...

Executive Functions in Dyslexia

Child Neuropsychology, 2000
This study focused on executive functions in dyslexia. A group of 43 heavily-affected young dyslexics, divided into two groups based on the results of a receptive language test, and 20 non-dyslexic controls, were tested with a Dichotic Listening Test, the Stroop Color Word Test and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.

Cognitively Engaging Chronic Physical Activity, But Not Aerobic Exercise, Affects Executive Functions in Primary School Children: A Group-Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (JSEP), 2015
Although the positive effects of different kinds of physical activity (PA) on cognitive functioning have already been demonstrated in a variety of studies, the role of cognitive engagement in promoting children's executive functions is still unclear. The

Individual Differences in Early Executive Functions: A Longitudinal Study from 12 to 36 Months

, 2016
It has been proposed that executive functions develop in a hierarchical fashion, such that early, simple abilities seen already during the first year of life become increasingly coordinated with development, thereby enabling the emergence of more complex
