Individual differences in executive functions are almost entirely genetic in origin. (2008, background): “, Hasher, Zacks, & May, 1999; Lowe & Rabbitt, 1997), and disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; Barkley, 1997; Nigg, 2006), autism (Russell, 1997), schizophrenia (Frith, 1992), and substance use problems (Garavan & Stout, 2005).”
A meta-analysis of executive functioning in dyslexia with consideration of the impact of comorbid ADHD (2019, background): “A significant volume of research indicates that the presence of executive dysfunction is well established in ADHD (Barkley, 1997; Eden & Vaidya, 2008; Nigg, 2001, 2006; Pennington, 2002; Pennington & Ozonoff, 1996; Willcutt, Doyle, Nigg, Faraone, & Pennington, 2005).”
Self-Regulation Deficits Explain the Link between Reactive Aggression and Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Problems in Children (2013, result): “This finding is particularly noteworthy given that many past studies examining self-regulation deficits have failed to control for ADHD status, a critically important variable given the known self-regulation deficits in ADHD (Nigg, 2006).”
Practitioner review: do performance-based measures and ratings of executive function assess the same construct? (2013, neutral): “The construct of executive functions has become important in the assessment of typically developing children (Davidson, Amso, Anderson, & Diamond, 2006), aging adults (Salthouse, Atkinson, & Berish, 2003) and special populations (Nigg, 2006; Pennington, 2002).”
