Synthesizing cutting-edge neuropsychological and evolutionary research, Russell A. Barkley presents a model of EF that is rooted in meaningful activities of daily life. He describes how abilities such as emotion regulation, self-motivation, planning, and working memory enable people to pursue both personal and collective goals that are critical to survival. Key stages of EF development are identified and the far-reaching individual and social costs of EF deficits detailed. Barkley explains specific ways that his model may support much-needed advances in assessment and treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSee also Barkley's empirically based, ecologically valid assessment tools: \u003ci\u003eBarkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults)\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBarkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale--Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA).\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236010123415,"sku":"9781462505357","price":4150.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781462505357.webp?v=1769211619","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/executive-functions-what-they-are-how-they-work-and-why-they-evolved-9781462505357","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
