WHAT IS EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING?
Executive functioning refers to the core cognitive skills that help us plan, organize, manage information, and follow through on goals. These are the brain’s “top-down” processes — the systems that allow us to consciously guide our behavior, especially in situations where habits or automatic reactions aren’t enough.
Researchers commonly describe executive function as three foundational skills:
-
Working Memory – holding and updating information in the mind
-
Inhibitory Control – managing impulses and resisting distractions
-
Cognitive Flexibility – shifting perspective, adapting, and problem-solving
Together, these skills allow children and teens to remember directions, manage multi-step tasks, regulate emotions, stay organized, and adapt when things don’t go as planned. They are also the foundation for higher-level thinking such as planning, creativity, and complex problem-solving.
Research consistently shows that executive function skills improve through intentional, repeated practice — and gains fade when practice stops. Effective support depends not just on activities, but on how skills are modeled, scaffolded, and reinforced over time.
