Breaking the mould of executive function research

Paulo Laurence, a previous collaborator, recently wrote a Journal Club piece discussing Silvia’s published commentary on expanding the field of executive function research. While there is a general understanding of what executive functions are, researchers use different terminology and lack a consensus of what the core executive functions are. Newer approaches such as neural methods and computational modeling may help integrate our understanding of these mental processes.
