The role of executive functions in age differences in episodic memoryHead, Denise Priscilla Iva
On the structure and development of executive functions in middle and late childhood: Remodeling and Commentary on Brydges, Fox, Reid, and Anderson Executive function involves inhibition, shifting, and working memory.Relations between inhibition, shifting, and working memory change with age.Shifting wa...
Age and sex differences were analyzed for the delineated functions, which means that the results may be taken to represent age effects at the level of specific processes within the executive domain rather than on single tests. Age-dependent changes in children's performance on all 3 dimensions ...
Across assessments and datasets, executive functions follow a canonical non-linear trajectory, with rapid and statistically significant development in late childhood to mid-adolescence (10–15 years old), before stabilizing to adult-levels in late adolescence (18–20 years old). Age effects are well...
Miller and Cummings (2007) reported that “Executive cognitive functions are defined as (and the term is limited to) high-level cognitive functions, believed to be primarily controlled by the LPFC [left prefrontal cortex], that are involved in the control and direction (e.g., planning, monitor...
Recent research on cognitive aging has shown that the brain is plastic up to very old age and that executive control can be improved by intensive cognitive and physical training in adulthood. This entry outlines the concept of executive functions, their neural correlates, and their plasticity ...
By that I mean that you’ll want to focus on the specific executive functions that allow us to pay attention to instructions, plan out a task, and then recall how and why we are doing things, and then maintain the impulse control in order to sustain use of our existing skills in ...
An evidence based review of acute and long-term effects of cannabis use on executive cognitive functions. These deficits differ in severity depending on the quantity, recency, age of onset and duration of marijuana use. Understanding how cannabis use impairs ... RD Crean,NA Crane,BJ Mason - ...

Overall, this set of results highlights how at least part of the observed increase in the complexity of social understanding determined by age is accounted for by the parallel neuropsychological growth in executive functions. It is noteworthy that the improvement of executive control is regarded by ...
