Lewis, Charlie; Carpendale, Jeremy I. M. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2009
The term executive function is used increasingly within developmental psychology and is often taken to refer to unfolding brain processes. We trace the origins of research on executive function to show that the link with social interaction has a long history. We suggest that a recent frenzy of research exploring methods for studying individual…
