The Impact of Internet Pornography on Adolescents: A Review of the Research (2012, background): “…differences emerge between adults and adolescents in the frontal cortices and in the striatum (Sowell et al., 1999), the regions generally presumed to be associated with executive control and affect regulation (Alvarez & Emory, 2006; Costafreda, Brammer, David, & Fu, 2008; Yurgelun-Todd, 2007).”
How semantic memory structure and intelligence contribute to creative thought: a network science approach (2017, neutral): “Gr is an established facet of the CHC model of intelligence reflecting the effectiveness and flexibility of memory retrieval (Carroll, 1993) and is commonly seen as an index of executive ability (Alvarez & Emory, 2006; Gilhooly et al., 2007).”
Major Depressive Disorder is Associated with Broad Impairments on Neuropsychological Measures of Executive Function: A Meta-Analysis and Review (2012, background): “…these definitions all share the idea that EFs are higher level cognitive processes, which control and regulate lower level processes (e.g., perception, motor responses) to effortfully guide behavior toward a goal, especially in nonroutine situations (e.g., Alvarez & Emory, 2006; Banich, 2009).”
Ready, Set, Create: What Instructing People to "Be Creative" Reveals About the Meaning and Mechanisms of Divergent Thinking (2014, background): “But a cognitive psychologist who does the same thing is measuring verbal fluency, a major factor of intelligence (McGrew, 2005), a standard part of intelligence batteries (Kaufman, 2009), and a common measure of executive functioning (Alvarez & Emory, 2006).”
The Relationship Between Working Memory Capacity and Executive Functioning: Evidence for a Common Executive Attention Construct (2010, positive): “Although it is certainly the case that any task or ability recruits many disparate brain areas, EF tasks share the common characteristic of recruiting frontal areas (Alvarez & Emory, 2006), and thus we use these terms interchangeably with this caveat in mind.”
Executive function and PTSD: disengaging from trauma. (2012, positive): “For the purposes of this manuscript, we will focus on concepts that have been considered throughout the literature to be involved in maintaining successful " executive function " , or the control of complex goal-directed behavior (Royall et al., 2002; Alvarez and Emory, 2006; McCabe et al., 2010).”
