Decision-making Competence, Executive Functioning, and General Cognitive Abilities (2012, background): “the regulation of cognition (Miyake et al., 2000; Rabbitt, 1997; Royall et al., 2002; Salthouse, 2005).”
Self-and Social-Regulation Social Interaction and the Development of Social Understanding and Executive Functions (2009, background): “In many cases this confl ating of uses is not recognized, although there are exceptions (e.g., for exceptions, see Rabbitt, 1997; Stuss, 1992; Welsh, Pennington, & Grossier, 1991; Zelazo, Carter, Reznick, & Frye, 1997).”
Process Overlap Theory: A Unified Account of the General Factor of Intelligence (2016, background): “Finally, it has been demonstrated that as soon as performance on elementary cognitive tests becomes automatic and therefore does not require controlled attention, the correlation between such tests and Gf decreases (Ackerman, 1988; Rabbitt, 1997).”
A Meta-Analysis of the Convergent Validity of Self-Control Measures (2011, neutral): “…the comparatively weaker evidence of convergent validity for task measures points to substantial random and task-specific error variance, notoriously problematic for executive function tasks in particular (Rabbitt, 1997) but also well-known for performance task measures in general (Epstein, 1979).”
Work stress and attentional difficulties: An initial study on burnout and cognitive failures (2005, background): “…processes subserving executive control are considered to be involved in the top-down regulation of behaviour and can be differentiated from the more automatic cognitive processes that regulate behaviour in a bottom-up way (Norman & Shallice, 1986; Rabbitt, 1997; Shiffrin & Scheider, 1977).”
Exercise Improves Executive Function and Achievement and Alters Brain Activation in Overweight Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2011, background): “The Planning scale has better reliability than neuropsychological tests of executive function (Rabbitt, 1997).”
Executive functioning as a potential mediator of age-related cognitive decline in normal adults. (2003, background): “In fact, some researchers have suggested that executive functioning measures should not be expected to be reliable because they are designed to assess the ability to cope with novel problems, and the problems are no longer novel after the first administration (e.g., Burgess, 1997; Denckla, 1995; Low”
Cognitive load in hypertext reading: A review (2007, background): “Alternatively (or in addition), readers with low working memory spans may have problems that are not tied to verbal memory specifically, but rather to more global executive functions (Baddeley, 1986, 1996; Rabbitt, 1997).”
Executive function deficits in autism spectrum disorders and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: examining profiles across domains and ages. (2006, background): “In particular, several research groups have identified three distinct domains of function: planning/working memory , flexibility, and response selection/inhibition (Hughes, 1998; Miyake et al., 2000; Ozonoff, 1997; Rabbitt, 1997; Robbins, 1996; Welsh, Pennington, & Groisser, 1991).”
Brain imaging of the central executive component of working memory. (2002, background): “Despite these recent advances in the identification of executive processes, it must be noted that the exploration of the central executive is still confronted with major theoretical and methodological problems (for a review, see [19] and [99]).”
Videogames and Young People with Developmental Disorders (2010, background): “One challenge to investigators of EFs, pointed out by Rabbitt (1997) and Brown (2006), is that the conventional psychological strategy of attempting to test a process by isolating a single variable that is deemed to reflect its operation is by definition inappropriate in this context, as EFs are…”
Assessment of executive functions: review of instruments and identification of critical issues. (2008, background): “Recently, tasks involving cognitive conflict have been shown to activate several brain areas thought to be involved in the executive attention network, but in functionally distinct ways (Botvnick, Nystrom, Fissell, Carter, & Cohen, 1999; Bush et al., 2000; Casey et al., 2000; Fan et al., 2002;…”
