This concise guide introduces the importance of executive function
for social and emotional well-being, and effective learning. It
clearly explains the research that underpins important topics such
as working memory, organization, self-regulation, attention and
cognitive flexibility, and how they apply to the real-world
settings in which we work with children, adolescents, and families.
This engaging book offers knowledge and strategies for improving
executive function together with an understanding of its relevance
for diverse populations. The authors use the most current research
to provide an overview of what executive function is, how it
develops, and how it works in coordination with other developmental
factors to promote regulation and flexibility in thinking. Chapters
contain detailed information about the biological and physiological
foundations for brain development and emotion regulation, as well
as advances in cognition, emotion, and social relationships. Making
the research accessible to all with evidence-based writing and
theory-to-practice applications, the book provides applications
with career contexts and interviews and case studies that bring the
book to life. Designed to introduce professionals, advocates, and
parents to the importance of executive function in human
development, this book is for all those working with children and
young people. It will also be of interest as an introductory text
for those new to the field or as a way to learn to apply
developmental principles in practice.
