ABSTRACT
Cognition presents topics of long-standing interest to psychologists and neuropsychologists. Cognition encompasses a huge array of processes, including attention, working memory, and language understanding and production. Some cognitive processes are executive functions. Accounts of executive function vary enormously (Jurado & Rosselli 2007), but its component processes typically include inhibiting behaviour; learning; formulating goals; sequencing actions; integrating information; remembering; generalizing and abstracting; understanding; knowing; analysing; monitoring; introspecting; discriminating; evaluating; creating; deliberating; planning; decision-making; judging; choosing; and directing – in short, much of our daily conscious lives.
