Executive Function: Development Across the Life Span presents
perspectives from leading researchers and theorists on the
development of executive function from infancy to late adulthood
and the factors that shape its growth and decline. Executive
function is the set of higher-order cognitive processes involved in
regulating attention, thoughts, and actions. Relative to other
cognitive domains, its development is slow and decline begins early
in late adulthood. As such, it is particularly sensitive to
variations in environments and experiences, and there is growing
evidence that it is susceptible to intervention - important because
of its link to a wide range of important life outcomes. The volume
is made up of four sections. It begins with an overview of
executive function's typical development across the lifespan,
providing a foundation for the remainder of the volume. The second
section presents insights into mechanisms of executive function, as
provided by a variety of methodological approaches. The third and
fourth sections review the current research evidence on specific
factors that shape executive function's development, focusing on
normative (e.g., bilingualism, physical activity, cognitive
training) and clinically relevant (e.g., substance use,
neurodegenerative disease) developmental pathways.
