Unity and diversity of executive functions: Individual differences as a window on cognitive structure
Executive functions (EFs) are high-level cognitive processes, often associated with the
frontal lobes, that control lower level processes in the service of goal-directed behavior …

The role of prefrontal cortex in cognitive control and executive function
Abstract Concepts of cognitive control (CC) and executive function (EF) are defined in terms
of their relationships with goal-directed behavior versus habits and controlled versus …
