These processes include: Working memory: the ability to hold information in our minds and manipulate it in order to solve problems or complete tasks. Inhibition: the ability to control our impulses and resist distractions in order to stay focused on a task. Cognitive flexibility: the ability to switch between different tasks or perspectives as needed. Planning and organization: the ability to break down a task into smaller steps and create a plan to accomplish it. Time management: the ability to estimate how much time a task will take and allocate time accordingly. Emotional regulation: the ability to manage our emotions and respond appropriately to different situations. Executive function skills are important for success in many areas of life, including school, work, and personal relationships. Difficulties with executive function are commonly seen in individuals with ADHD, but can also be present in individuals with other conditions or as a result of brain injury.
