How socioeconomic status, executive functioning and verbal interactions contribute to early academic achievement in Chinese children (2017, background): “Working memory is one of the most important parts of the human memory system as it involves the temporary storage, rehearsal and manipulation of information necessary for cognition (Baddeley, 1992; Barkley, 2001).”
Executive functions and school readiness intervention: Impact, moderation, and mediation in the Head Start REDI program (2008, background): “…play of older preschool children, including their ability to sustain synchronized, thematic play, and negotiate turn taking and resource sharing, reflects their growing capacity to mentally represent and follow social scripts, tracking social exchange as they go (Barkley, 2001; Nelson, 2003).”
Hierarchical Active Inference: A Theory of Motivated Control (2018, background): “In other words, cognitive (or executive) functions can be considered as hierarchical contextualizations of sensorimotor decisions, affording more sophisticated forms of control; for example, self-regulation over extended time periods [10,14,18,21,34,42,47].”
Self-Regulation Deficits Explain the Link between Reactive Aggression and Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Problems in Children (2013, background): “Self-regulation can be defined as the capacity to control and alter ones responses in the service of ones’ goals, including inhibiting and overriding prepotent (immediately or previously reinforced) responses or urges, often in an effortful and deliberate fashion (Barkley 2001; Vohs and Baumeister 2”
Working Memory, its Executive Functions, and the Emergence of Modern Thinking (2005, background): “, Barkley (2001) approached the issue of defining executive functions from an evolutionary perspective. He viewed them as a biological adaptation resulting from interpersonal competition in groups. Barkley saw executive functions as a useful social self-defense against resource theft (including thef”
The Presence of an Attractive Woman Elevates Testosterone and Physical Risk Taking in Young Men (2010, background): “Finally, we sought to test the possibility that this increase in risk taking might also be associated with decreased executive control, as facilitated by the prefrontal cortex (Barkley, 2001).”
Pragmatic and executive dysfunction in schizophrenia (2010, background): “Barkley (2001) postulated a link between executive functions and communication and social behavior. Very few studies of non-literal language understanding in schizophrenia have evaluated participants’ executive functions (Brune & Bodenstein, 2005; Janssen et al., 2003; Langdon et al., 2002; Sponheim”
The strength model of self-control revisited: Linking acute and chronic effects of exercise on executive functions (2015, background): “Executive functions are high-level cognitive functions that subserve and are a prerequisite for self-regulation.(2,3) According to a well-known and frequently used taxonomy,(4) at least three main and elementary components of executive functions can be identified: (1) maintenance and updating of rel”
Impact of executive function deficits and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) on academic outcomes in children. (2004, result): “Such a possibility is consistent with recent work by Barkley (2001) in which he considered EF from an evolutionary perspective and theorized that environmental pressures may have existed in our species’ history that could have selected for the evolution of EF. Barkley argued that the EF system evo”
Do Big Five personality traits associated with self-control influence the regulation of anger and aggression?☆ (2007, background): “Traits associated with self-control may have evolved speciWcally for reciprocal social exchanges and for the formation of cooperative group living (Barkley, 2001).”
Navigating the Affordance Landscape: Feedback Control as a Process Model of Behavior and Cognition. (2016, neutral): “Finally, ‘thinking’ might be conceptualized as a controlled process of prediction and imagination (of action possibilities and their outcomes), which engages covertly the same resources as overt interaction [7,60], rather than stemming from specialized computational procedures independent of percept”
Neuropsicología de las funciones ejecutivas (2010, background): “…encontrar el tono afectivo adecuado para convencer al cliente de la idoneidad de la campaña en una reunión de presentación), y requieren tener en cuenta tanto las consecuencias inmediatas como los resultados a medio y largo plazo de las conductas seleccionadas (Barkley, 2001; Bechara et al., 2000).”
The Development of Cognitive Skills and Gains in Academic School Readiness for Children from Low-Income Families (2010, background): “Conceptually, these skills enable children to organize their thinking and behavior with increasing flexibility, decrease their reactive responding to contextual cues and contingencies, and engage in self-regulated and rule-governed behavior (Barkley, 2001; Blair, 2006; Blair & Diamond, 2008; Gatherc”
Consensus Paper: The Cerebellum's Role in Movement and Cognition (2013, background): “Mechanistically, this requires self-control [213] and inhibition [214] processes that guide the anticipatory control loops [208].”
