Attention. Memory. Self-regulation. These and other core cognitive and behavioral operations of daily life comprise what we know as executive functioning (EF). But despite all we know, the concept has engendered multiple, often conflicting definitions, and its components are sometimes loosely defined and poorly understood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Executive Functioning\u003c\/i\u003e cuts through the confusion, analyzing both the whole and its parts in comprehensive, practical detail for scholar and clinician alike. Background chapters examine influential models of EF, tour the brain geography of the executive system, and pose salient developmental questions. A section on practical implications relates early deficits in executive functioning to ADD and other disorders in children, and considers autism and later-life dementias from an EF standpoint. Further chapters weigh the merits of widely used instruments for assessing executive functioning and review interventions for its enhancement, with special emphasis on children and adolescents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured in the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe development of hot and cool executive function in childhood and adolescence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA review of the use of executive function tasks in externalizing and internalizing disorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExecutive functioning as a mediator of age-related cognitive decline in adults.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreatment integrity in interventions that target executive function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting and strengthening working memory in the classroom to enhance executive functioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Executive Functioning\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in clinicalchild, school, and educational psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; neurobiology; developmental psychology; rehabilitation medicine\/therapy; and social work. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274823852183,"sku":"9781493903375","price":27911.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781493903375.webp?v=1769281054","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/handbook-of-executive-functioning-9781493903375","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
