Understanding Executive Functioning
- Executive functioning abilities direct and control perceptions, thoughts, actions and to some degree emotions.
- Good executive functioning control in one domain does not guarantee good executive control in other domains.
- Likewise, weak executive control does not necessitate weak control in other areas.
- Having a strong IQ does not guarantee success if one has weaker executive functioning.
- Executive functioning often mediates one’s ability to translate abilities into action.
