Executive function can be divided into the subdomains of:

  • Mental flexibility - the ability to transition between thinking about different concepts
  • Planning – the ability to mentally select an appropriate action to achieve a desired goal
  • Strategy – the ability to implement strategic thinking for problem-solving
  • Response inhibition – the ability to suppress inappropriate responses
