Abstract
Executive function (EF) skills are a set of neurocognitive skills required for the conscious, goal-directed control of thought, action, and emotion. These skills make it possible to sustain attention, keep goals and information in mind, refrain from responding immediately, resist distraction, tolerate frustration, consider the consequence of different behaviors, reflect on past experiences, and plan for the future (e.g., Diamond, 2013; Zelazo et al., 2016).
