Executive Functions
Assessment of cognitive and behavioral regulation capacities
About this test
Executive functions are the higher-order cognitive processes that enable us to plan, organize, regulate our behavior, and achieve our goals. This comprehensive test explores five essential dimensions: planning (ability to develop and follow an action plan), cognitive flexibility (capacity to adapt to change), inhibition (control of automatic responses), working memory (maintenance and manipulation of information in real time), and initiation (ability to start an action). A detailed executive profile will be provided to help you better understand your cognitive strengths and vulnerabilities.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Planning- Ability to develop an action plan, break down a goal into steps, and anticipate obstacles.
- ●Cognitive Flexibility- Capacity to modify one's approach in response to new information, switch between tasks, and adapt to change.
- ●Inhibition- Ability to suppress an automatic response or impulse in order to adopt behavior more appropriate to the situation.
- ●Working Memory- Capacity to temporarily maintain information in memory and manipulate it to accomplish a cognitive task.
- ●Initiation- Ability to start an action autonomously, motivate oneself, and move from intention to action.
