Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning refers to a set of mental skills that are coordinated in the brain's frontal lobe.  Executive functions work together to help a person achieve goals.  

Executive Functioning includes the ability to: 
• Manage time and attention
• Switch focus
• Plan and organize
• Remember details
• Curb inappropriate speech or behavior
• Integrate past experience with present action


The above definition/explanation is from the WebMD website.  Here is the link to that website.
