Measures of executive function may not be indicators of latent constructs

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Wednesday, January 31, 2024 | Neuropsychology (general)

Abstract Executive function (EF) is represented by a multidimensional set of measures. The central EFs considered are inhibitory control, working memory and cognitive flexibility (task shifting). Unlike other ability constructs, it has proven difficult to identify...
