Executive Functions
Frequently referred to as “the CEO of the Brain” or the “Conductor of the Orchestra
Better to think of Executive Functions as:A Team of Conductors and Co-Conductors of a Mental
Ability Orchestra or … The Coaching Staff of a Mental Ability Football Team

Development of EF• Self-regulation executive functions are
developing from the first years of life well into adulthood, and possibly throughout a person’s entire lifetime.
• Large developmental shifts are noticeable, especially around a adolescence.• Because EFs are developmental in nature,
natural maturational delays and lags are observed.
6/11/12 13
![Page 14: ADHD: Executive Function Dysfunction (I meant to behave…..but I forgot!)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56814830550346895db550c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Development of EF• All EFs do not develop evenly. For any given
individual, one EF can be more or less developed than any other EF at any given point in time.
• There is also great variation relative to chronological age. At the same age, different individuals will naturally vary considerably in their level of development of various EFs.

Development of EF
Some EF-based clinical syndromes, such as ADHD, demonstrate clear patterns of delayed developmental progression. Barkley (1998) estimates developmental delays of about 30% associated with various EF processes such as Inhibit, Manipulate, Shift, Sustain, Time, Monitor, Correct.

Executive Functions are involved with cueing and directing :
• Inhibiting impulsive responding;• Stopping, or interrupting, and returning to, an
ongoing activity;• Directing and focusing attention, screening
out interference and distractions, and sustaining attention

to complete a task …. Sustaining of a sufficient amount of effort
to effectively complete the task

Executive Functions• Shifts cognitive resources to focus on new
demands , new conditions or new information• Directs the efficient use of pattern and detail
processing :– Knowing when to focus on the “big picture”, when
to concentrate on the details, and when to switch between the two).
• Monitors and regulates speed of information processing

Executive Functions
• Monitors and corrects task performance for accuracy and efficiency
• Oversees the selection of verbal-nonverbal and abstract-concrete processing mechanisms
• Directs motor output • Directs the ability to mentally manipulate
information (working memory) • Directs the integration of multiple abilities to
produce oral or written responses 6/11/12 19

Executive Functions and SchoolAcquiring Knowledge Demonstrating Knowledge
Many new learning situations are structured in ways that reduce the need for strong executive direction
Requires significant involvement of executive control processes.
21
Because executive control is heavily involved in demonstrating learning, executive difficulties usually manifest as “Producing Disabilities” much more so than “Learning Disabilities.” 6/11/12

Impact of EF and Learning
• Although executive functions are used to guide cognitive processing involved in new learning, many new learning situations are structured in ways that reduce the need for strong executive direction.
• In direct contrast, demonstrating what has been learned usually requires significant involvement of executive control processes

Nonverbal Working Memory– Imitation and vicarious learning– Anticipation and preparation to act– Awareness of self across time– Spatial location– Organization & reproduction of
complex designs– Less proficient at imitating sequences of simple motor
gestures – Psychological awareness of time

Verbal Working Memory• Internalization of speech– self-description and self-reflection– rule governed behavior (self-instruction)–digit span–mental computation– the basis for verbal thought –memory tasks–hindsight, forethought, and planning

EF and School
Test taking can be exceptionally difficult for a student with executive difficulties if the test format emphasizes executive demands over
content knowledge.

producing difficulties is written expression.

Reading and EF• Reading Decoding – poor use of one or moreself-regulation EFs (e.g., lack of attention tospecific letters in words; saying words that“look” like the word on the page).• Rapid Automatic Naming – poor executive control
of language fluency processes.• Reading Comprehension – poor direction ofone or more self-regulation EFs (e.g., Focus,Sustain, Hold, Manipulate, Balance, Pace,Time, etc.) when reading for meaning.6/11/12 29

Implications for Interventions
33
• Intervene at “points of performance”• Externalize all information• Externalize sources of motivation• Arrange immediate consequences for task
initiation and completion• Plan to provide interventions over the long-
term

Building Internal Strategies
Providing students with feedback about their performance enables them to engage
executive capacities more effectively to learn from their mistakes and improve future
performance

Build Internal Strategies
• Use IES guides to develop strategy instruction within Tiered interventions.
• Align anchor activities within instructional groups for repeated practice of strategy use within intervention.

Classroom Instruction (TIER 1)
To assure that executive functioncapacities are used to their fullest
potential, it is important to state the goalsof the learning process. Stating goalsenables executive capacities, either
consciously or nonconsciously, to engagethe perceptions, emotions, thoughts, and
actions, needed to achieve the goals.
6/11/12 37
![Page 38: ADHD: Executive Function Dysfunction (I meant to behave…..but I forgot!)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56814830550346895db550c2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Tier 1
• In many ways, teachers ARE their student ‘s frontal lobes.
• Providing prompts and cues are important to assure that children are engaged appropriately in the instructional process.
• Modeling good executive functions helps children see how they can self-regulate their own perceptions, emotions, thoughts and actions.

an academic skills error– Re-teach appropriate behavior– Respond consistently and efficiently– Observe the effects of behavior reduction strategy• Punishment??? Behavior increases??
– Respond early: avoid escalation, prolonged existence576/11/12

Tier 3 InterventionsPrevention (Make problem behaviors irrelevant):•Schedule•Curriculum (content, sequence)• Instruction• Skill Building (Teach desired behaviors)•Teaching = delivering events that change
behavior, not just delivering curriculum• Replacement behaviors (maintain same function
as problem behavior)•Adaptive skills
