Planning. Attention. Memory. Self-regulation. These and other
core cognitive and behavioral operations of daily life comprise
what we know as executive functioning (EF). But despite all we
know, the concept has engendered multiple, often conflicting
definitions and its components are sometimes loosely defined and
poorly understood.

TheHandbook of Executive Functioning
Handbook of Executive Functioning cuts through the
confusion, analyzing both the whole and its parts in
comprehensive, practical detail for scholar and clinician alike.
Background chapters examine influential models of EF, tour the
brain geography of the executive system and pose salient
developmental questions. A section on practical implications
relates early deficits in executive functioning to ADD and other
disorders in children and considers autism and later-life
dementias from an EF standpoint. Further chapters weigh the
merits of widely used instruments for assessing executive
functioning and review interventions for its enhancement, with
special emphasis on children and adolescents.
