Executive functions are a set of cognitive processes we use to act
on information, manage resources, and plan and monitor our own
behaviour, all with the aim of achieving an end goal. These are
skills that develop from infancy. While 'reading' has been
extensively studied in psychology literature, 'writing' has been
somewhat neglected, despite a lack of capability in this area being
linked to poverty and social exclusion. This book is the first
comprehensive and state-of-the-art review of the relationship
between executive function skills and writing. It explores its role
across the lifespan, addressing all groups of writers, from
children and those with learning and language difficulties, to
adults and elders. It considers theoretical viewpoints, assessment
and methodological issues, and developmental disorders, and closes
with insightful commentary chapters that draw future directions for
investigating executive functions. Written by internationally
recognized scholars in the field, this is a new and innovative
contribution which will provide essential reading among
researchers, educators, and graduate students interested in
understanding the cognitive underpinnings of writing throughout the
lifespan
