What is Executive Function? Executive Function skills are the core set of cognitive skills required for planning, completing, and evaluating the completion of tasks, as well as overseeing our communication exchanges. These skills include functions that control behavior; such as attention, motivation, and emotional self regulation, as well as functions that guide behavior; such as planning, organizing, monitoring, reasoning, problem solving and flexibility.
