Understanding Executive Function Skills
- Definition: Executive function refers to the brain's ability to activate, organize, integrate, and manage other cognitive functions, enabling planning, foresight, and real-time self-adjustment.
- Connection to ADHD: Executive function impairments are considered highly interrelated to ADHD symptoms, particularly regarding the inability to self-regulate and delay responses.
- Russell Barkley’s Model: Focuses on the root cause being an inability to self-regulate. He categorizes executive function into four areas:
- Nonverbal working memory
- Internalization of speech (verbal working memory)
- Self-regulation of affect, motivation, and arousal
- Reconstitution (planning and generativity)
- Tom Brown’s Model: Proposes six integrated "clusters" of executive function; impairments in these areas often appear together:
- Organizing, prioritizing, and activating for tasks
- Focusing, sustaining, and shifting attention
- Regulating alertness, sustaining effort, and processing speed
- Managing frustration and modulating emotions
- Utilizing working memory and accessing recall
- Monitoring and self-regulating action
- Impact: Deficits in these areas significantly hinder an individual's ability to initiate, maintain focus on, and complete tasks.
