Here's how people can get better at managing their emotions, controlling their behavior, focusing their attention, and thinking flexibly
Executive functioning skills are interrelated skills like managing emotions, controlling behavior, focusing attention, and thinking flexibly.
Neuropsychologists have long recognized that EF skills are critical to reasoning, planning, problem-solving, and managing life’s demands in general. Given how crucial these life skills are, it is not surprising that good EF skills are associated with things like better achievement, health, economic stability, and relationship success in addition to preventing substance use and incarceration, and with general quality of life .
So what’s the bad news? EF skills don’t transfer or generalize that easily from the situations in which they are practiced to other situations. In other words, if you practice EF skills in artificial circumstances, don’t expect them to look better in the real world. Like it or not, real life also throws us plenty of opportunities to try our hand at solving complex problems, so the practice never gets old or stops and doesn’t require taking extra time out of the day to practice. We also know dosing is important for any form of skill-building, since skill-building is code for changing the brain, and changing the brain requires repetition without hammering away too much, ornetworks become “refractory” and stop responding .
