Executive Function
Improve your every day learning skills.
To operate successfully in a fast-paced working environment, one must be able to evaluate information, strategize, make decisions, and follow through with a course of action. Good executive function skills help people make better decisions and manage their time, attention, and behavior in an efficient manner. These skills include:
Time management
Organization and materials management
Memory and active listening
Attention awareness and control
Managing multiple tasks
Analyzing and problem solving
Flexible thinking
Emotional regulation and control
These skills support the part of human cognition that enables us to evaluate information, strategize, make decisions, and follow through with a course of action. Once an action is taken, our executive function analyzes the outcome and determines if this is an action, behavior, or response that should be repeated; and if not, what should be done instead. This high-level function of the brain is crucial to managing a well-balanced, appropriate, and successful life.
