The executive functions are a diverse set of neurologically-based skills involving mental and emotional control, and self-regulation. These include managing oneself and one's resources in order to achieve a goal. Executive function is activated when we set goals; strategize the completion of a project; prioritize; manage time, organize material and information; need flexibility to shift situations; and use our working memory -the capacity to hold information in mind for the purpose of completing a task. Executive functions are directly related to the development of many academic skills that lead to success in school.
