Learn more · What is Executive Function?
Working Memory – keeping information we need in mind as we work on a task
Cognitive Flexibility – adjusting to new information as it presents itself
Inhibitory Control – regulating our emotions and distractions to persist on a task
Executive function controls our ability to plan, organize, collaborate, focus, and pivot as we go about our daily lives.
